Hi everyone,
Got a question for you. My Dad got his blood results back on Friday and now has to go for another blood test on the 25th - this time no food/drink from 10pm the night before. Does anyone know what this test is for?
Dad phoned for his blood results (from last weeks tests) and of course he can't remember what they are (nor could he remember his next appointment date). Mum phoned up the surgery but they could only tell her the date of the next appointment - they couldn't tell her the results of his last tests because of confidentiality. She explained he can't remember - but they won't budge on this! Typical. So Mum will be accompanying Dad to the surgery at his next appointment (if he will let her) so that we can find everything out.
Does anyone have any idea what test my Dad is going for - is it likely because one of his blood tests showed something (that we don't know about).
How do we get around this confidentiality thing? It just seems so silly telling someone that can't remember!
Any advice would be appreciated on the above.
The ball is well and truly rolling now it would seem - at least Dad is having tests! Getting a bit nervous about it all now though - Dad seems to have been a bit worse this week. My hope for it to be something else is fading fast...
My best to you all.
