The Patient Portal—Help or Hindrance?

@karen1945 I also like the patient portal to send messages because then what I want to say to the doctor gets to the doctor in my words, not interpreted by a nurse who answered the phone. Also, for me it works well because I have a hearing impairment and it's much easier to communicate in writing than on the phone.

Absolutely! I might add that I find it’s a lot easier to explain what I mean in a text rather than the phone. I really don’t like talking on the phone.

I meant to add, that my hospital seems to get results from tests just about the same time that I do and if anything is amiss I know I will be getting a call that day so I never go long not knowing what something negative might indicate.
