How long does it take to get the results back for an echocardiogram and carotid !


Question: How long does it take to get the results back for an echocardiogram and carotid sonogram!?
I had those two tests done today, the tech was rude and wouldn't tell me a thing, so when I left I asked the receptionist how long it would take to get the results of these tests!.!.!.!.she said ONE MONTH!! I'm thinking!.!.!.that doesn't sound right at all!.!.!.!.something could be wrong and you'd be dead before you found anything out!.
Does anyone know!? I thought a few days or a week at most!. (but this IS Florida!.!.!.the Healthcare Hell Capital of the world, so a month probably is the norm here!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Florida!? Isn't that where they cut off the left leg instead of the right!?

The results are immediate!. The tech could have told you the results, but then would have been at risk of being fired!. Unemployment is a forbidding prospect in today's economy!. There's laws that say the results of the tests you pay for have to go through the doctor that you hired!. If you want the raw data, you should be able to get it, but you might have to hire a lawyer!. Yeah, I know the game is fixed!. Why do you think health care is so expensive these days!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had an echo on Wednesday of this week!. I got the results on Thursday afternoon!. There is NO excuse for a delay of a month!. None!. I would call the Dr!. office, and ask for them!. If they don't call you or give them to you within about 5 days, I would show up in their office!.

Don't worry about being a bother, keep in mind that YOU are paying (or your insurance company) YOU are the client, and they owe YOU respect!. Absolutely NO excuse for this lack of service!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the techs aren't allowed to say anything; only your doctor can!.
You'll have to ask him/her for the results - esp if they were done in office!. If the tests were done in a hospital, it may be possible to request a copy of the test results be sent to you!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Does not make sense cause my daughter echo i had result then and there same day!. But yes i have family in Floriday and they crazy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
