1 year agoGenerally yes they will only call you if there is something wrong. Family docs / NPs have too many patients and tests to call everyone with normal results in most cases. A few things are weird about your case though.
- 8 months for a follow up test
- not telling you why you needed it
- not scheduling a follow up
While I’m sure stuff like this happens often, ideally it isn’t supposed to. You should call your NP and schedule a follow up yourself.
They really missed an opportunity to put a toaster on the counter. It would be so convenient to have fresh toast for you and your friends when having a bath.
