No updates!

[Florah]

I had a blood test 2/11/22, spoke with my Endocrinologist 4/11/22- who informed me that the lab has issues with my results. So was unable to update me on my bloods. I was on the phone for 2 minutes! Today is 17/11/22 and I’ve not had any updates or communication. I’m fed up & they don’t care! 😨😰
