A member asked:
Why does my doctor want to repeat my blood work without telling me the results of the first round?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No good reason: Why your doctor would want to repeat labs without discussing the first results with you. In fact, you have a right to know these results and to ask questions regarding them. Most likely it is just due to not having the time to properly communicate with you regarding the reasoning. You should try and make appointment to discuss your concerns.
