How long do you wait for a nurse to call you back?!
Question: How long do you wait for a nurse to call you back!?
I called two hours ago!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Well that depends on the call!.
I know it sounds unfair but the triage nurse who calls you back also handles most of the emergencies of the day, like where to send them, who needs to come in, etc!.!.!. So if it's not a life and death emergency there maybe someone who takes precedence in urgency!.
This does not mean that your call is not important, just that there maybe something going on that is an urgent emergency!. If you feel it is urgent or you are scared you can always call back and voice your concerns and ask for an estimate as to when the nurse will call you back!. Sometimes they will try to talk to you right away if you are on the phone!. It depends on the office and protocol!.
It is your health, if it is a true emergency, if you are having issues breathing, bleeding, or are losing consciousness, are pregnant and fear for your baby call and refuse to be called back!. While most offices try to serve their patients the best they can, you are ultimately responsible for your health care, so be proactive!.
If its not an urgent urgent matter, be patient, someone will call you back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you feel you need to call again, call!
Before hanging up, ask the nurse how long it will take them to get the results so you know when to be expecting the call and when to call them if you don't hear from them around that time!. Also, before leaving the docs office after taking tests, ask them how long it will take for the results to come in!. In most cases it doesn't take long at all and you won't have to worry and wait until the phone call!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

MOndays and Fridays tend to be very busy clinic days!. I would wait until about an hour before closing!. If you have not heard by then call again!. If you have a medical problem that can not wait go to a walk in clinic or er!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it depends what kind of nurse and what the problem is but if you called her about an illness that she needs to come to see you about then call her again!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
