No. Get the answer.: A common errror is that no news is good news. No news is no news. You must get the answer from your doctor, even if they don't call to tell you. The results should be back in less than a week. If they haven't called you by monday, call them to ask the results. You have the right to get the report yourself, if you desire, but i strongly urge you to have a conversation with your provider.

Call: As a rule, if it was something serious, a doctor or nurse would call or make an appointment but it sometimes takes time to get pathology reports and most importantly, nobody is perfect. Things can fall through the cracks and it is your ultimate responsibility to look for your own health. Never assume things are ok because you did not get a call. Hope it is all well for you.
