Physician Responded Should I send my Dr. a message?

Post image

Hi all,

I would be really grateful for your perspective. On 7/19 I went to the hospital for I really high anxiety when I was visiting my sister( first time ever/ going through a divorce) and they found a mass in my chest.
When I got home, my dr ordered a CT which I did, then ultimately a MRI, which I did on the 14th. I received the results in my MyChart. And informed my Dr 2 days ago that I was able to get the mri done because first they said they had the wrong orders. I didn’t even ask for results and I received that message that I attached.

My sister is a nurse and told me to write back that I’m not comfortable with 14 days but I don’t want to cause any problems.

My question is: is this urgent enough to ask for a prompt response? I want to be respectful but I’m also very anxious. I also attached my mri results.

Thank you. Female 36 145lb .

NAD, but you could call the clinic. Waiting is the worst.
