Could it be bad news when the dr wont give results from blood test over the phone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Every doctor / health facility have their own policies. Some do not like to give results on the phone, others may want to provide more counseling and want you to come in; others may want to bill for the service as doctors only get paid for face-to-face time with patient and all phone calls are free service;.
