  72. I have heard physicians over the years as I’ve worked say those same words “if you don’t hear from us, then it was all normal” or whatever. Out of earshot of the doc, I always told the patient to get a copy of their results-and an understanding of them. It is THEIR property, they are paying for it. Even with the amazing medical record keeping systems we have today, calls to patients sometimes get missed. Everyone is stressed in medicine because the undercutting of staff and time allotted per patient. You absolutely must be your own advocate. I am a medical technologist by trade and often patients don’t even know what tests we are doing on them. I have been told NOT to tell the patient what is being collected. Not okay! If the patient is being charged (or their insurance) then they should ALWAYS be informed regarding what is being drawn. I have had docs send people to the lab for DRUG TESTING and not tell the patient what is being drawn. They are going to sure as hell ask-especially without insurance. Not all labs are covered by insurance, sometimes even standard every day ones-depending on when it was done last. Coding is also extremely complicated. As a lab tech that is the one rule I continuously broke-I read off each lab and what it was for as I screened the patient for identity and told them if they didn’t hear back from us to CALL until they get the results. I can also state for a fact that the providers do not review your medical records prior to your appointment. There is no time for that and with 15 minutes to interact with you they may only glance at it if you are lucky. I am not faulting them but that is standard of care. You need to blurt out whatever significant history you have during your appt. One might assume all that detailed information you are asked to provide is carefully analyzed by your healthcare provider. It isn’t.😢

  192. I love animals and I still support animal research. I can understand why people feel sorry for the lab animals but unfortunately it is very naive to not understand how it is absolutely necessary in order to bring new, life saving medications to the market. No disrespect, I know it comes from the heart, but it is naive. There are extremely rigid and ethical guidelines regarding conducting studies using animals (as well as humans). Millions of dollars are poured into research, and years of work required to even bring it to animal testing; animals are not just tortured and discarded like trash. Each contributes to the advancement of science. Animal laboratories are inspected and employees are educated annually (and tested) regarding their current knowledge regarding appropriate animal care and following protocols designed into each study which is approved by a board called the IRB. The IRB will reject studies that unnecessarily torture animals-people outside of medicine have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. I spoil all of my personal animals to a ridiculous extent like a lot of other animal lovers do, but people need to understand animal testing is avoided at all costs due to the extreme expense of conducting such research. It is not done to simply give a bunch of horrible human beings an opportunity to legally torture animals. That is a ridiculous accusation and as much as people would like to protest, like others mentioned in this thread-look in the mirror first. What do you consume that isn’t ethically sourced? Research is strictly monitored and has ethical treatment of animals factored into any study that is awarded approval from the IRB. Slaughter houses and factory farm raised animals are under far less scrutiny than laboratory research animals. There are not enough inspectors to even put a dent into the animal welfare violations that occur, even in the most compliant of facilities. The employees working there often work in extreme and dangerous conditions themselves. And yet I consume meat, so in essence I too am a hypocrite.
