Hello @loribroda

From what I understand, you sent your letter a week ago asking for a discussion about your CT scan results. Is that correct?

If it were me, I would send another message, through the patient portal, asking again and give the doctor an option to either talk to you or to refer you to someone who will discuss this with you. You should, of course, follow up in a way that is comfortable for you .

Always remember, it is a patient's right to seek a second opinion, even if it is from another medical center. With electroic records and copies of CT scans that you can pick up, it is relatively easy for one medical center to evaluate results.

I just received a message on MyChart through Henry Ford Health, that someone is supposed to contact me and if they don't within 2 days, they gave me number to call. I just don't understand these doctors: This is MY LIFE we are talking about and they seem so aloof about it!!!!
