Hi Beclover
I would imagine that if there was anything really urgent, they would be seeing you a lot quicker than that. I had an ultrasound last year and had a call from the gp's surgery 2 days later, insisting that I attend that day to discuss the results.
Equally on another occasion, I had stomach biopsies done, I rang to get the results, the receptionist said she couldn't give me the results, the doctor wanted to see me and the earliest she could see me was 10 days time. I worried myself sick for those 10 days, convinced that I had stomach cancer. No, the biopsies were all normal, the doctor just wanted to discuss how my acid reflux was!
I hope that you get answers soon and that it is nothing to worry about.
All the best

Hey there!I have fatty liver diagnosed a year ago.
I live in Australia so may work differently here but the drs here explained to me that if the results are really really urgent, they phone you directly as soon as the results are in. I often get recall message notifications to make an appointment after having my bloods. It used to freak me out to. Hope it's all good for you.
