Why am I read the results of my blood test when I can read it myself

They are only concerned with the platelet count and the rest is fine and that has to do with the ability of my blood to clot. Thank you, for your reply.

Rest assured, you're not the only one frustrated with what medical providers do and do NOT do.
The focus on our platelet count is intense.
The willingness / ability to answer our questions . . . . not so much.
Keep advocating for what YOU need.

I find it sad to have to say this but at least you know the doctors are reading the reports, even if the action seems redundant. There are times I know my PCP does not read reports. This is the worst example. He had sent me to a hematologist after repeated tests showed I had a high WBC. The next time I saw him, he asked how that went. I had to inform him that I have cancer. If, and that is a big if, he or his staff had read the report, then they did not take the effort to make a note of this trivial detail on my chart.
