Could you tell us when this happened? By law medical practices are now required to post all test results.
(In April 2021, as part of the 21st Century Cures Act (signed in Dec 2016 under Obama) new federal rules went into effect mandating that healthcare providers make nearly all test results and clinical notes immediately available to patients. It is important to read test results to see if something is not being addressed.
I have had frequent CT scans in the last two years. The radiologist report talks about anything it finds and makes suggestions on follow up. My Specialist who orders these scans only looks at his area of interest. I go over the full scan report with my Primary Care doctor and see relevant specialists if warranted.

This is extremely helpful as Brookwood Baptist in Birmingham AL sent a reply to my inquiry about what happened indicating that they believe I was given “appropriate care”. They did not respond to my question seeking clarification that their position is withholding the radiologist’s report and reco constitutes “appropriate care”.
