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.

What you went through with your PCP is awful.

I know because it happened to me too.

Thank goodness for this forum, where we never have to feel alone.
