A copy of the results are ready for me to collect in a plain brown envelope within a week, and I always take them with me to see Dr Strangelove. He tells me that the results I bring are always more prompt than the faxed ones, which do arrive eventually.<BR/><BR/>I find that this way I'm sure to get the latest situation to my consultant, and my GP. Perhaps you could get your tests done locally to prevent this difficulty coming up, though if you have them done where you work, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a copy for yourself.<BR/><BR/>I used to live in Rabat, Morocco, and I was very sad when you stopped at the ferry to Tangiers.

In fact, I think it more the norm that patients are educating their physicians because not all of us have access to world class docs......Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352803363425803168noreply@blogger.com
