Hi Tommy,

Medical secretary's do not usually give out medical test results as it is the duty of the doctor who ordered that to explain the results in the context of the referral.

Your Gp may be able to access the results, can you call them?

We appreciate that it must be very stressful, if you are in the UK you are welcome to call our nurse helpline for a supportive chat on 0800 652 7330 Mon to Fri 10am to 3pm

She did say that I rang my own gp the secretary says theres nothing there for it yet and if it was the hospital consultant who ordered they havnt got anything I've to ring and book an appointment with my doctor over the phone there booked up for today the secretary says to phone 8.30 in the morning to book one for tomorrow will have to leave it till Wednesday when I'm off not allowed to carry phones with us on floor in work and you have to be free to answer whenever they call I could understand the secretary not giving results if she hadn't of given me my first ones near a year ago thanks for reply appreciate it
