A new test result shows up in MyChart, and my doctor hasn’t called yet. Sound familiar? In this episode, I share three recent experiences with that gap: a heart scan that took too long, a PET scan that came back fast, and an eyelid biopsy where my 11-year-old understanding of one pathology term had me worried for nothing. I cover why federal law sends results to your portal first, what research says about patients seeing results early, and why Google and AI can’t fill in the context your care team can. Plus, a few practical ways to handle the wait before your next results land.
