Heck Yeah, I'd be upset, and I am a doctor! If I order a lab, I am darned sure I find out the result ASAP, if its important for clinical decison-making. Sounds like he or she never saw the lab in the first place, and whomever looked at didn't realize how abnormal it was. That is unacceptable for a practice. I think its OK for nurses to screen the labs, but if the result is abnormal, he or she should be trained to recognize that, and bring it to the doc's attention immediately. I think you and Jacob should demand to see your doc, maybe not tommorrow, but soon, or at least a personal phone call. Find out what happened. If you really like him or her, stay with the practice, but bird dog your own labs, and make sure they know how upset you are, and that you will be calling, a lot!
