Blood tests at my local blood testing unit at hospital take 2 days to be shown on computer at Dr's which is how long my same as ur tests took. However, haematology results took forever- I found out you have to get Dr's surgery to request access to them as they were on system but didn't know until I chased after 3 weeks.

Not what you're looking for?
