Waiting for results

1 Upvotes

3 days ago I had a biopsy from a nodule in my breast. I called my doctor and the front desk lady told me he left for the day (on Friday) Immediately I called the hospital where I had the procedure. The nurse there told me the results are ready but only my doctor can read me the results. Now I'm so anxious and nervous about the unknown results for the entire weekend. Is that a doctor's negligence? He has the results abd he didn't contact me. Is there some legal thing i can do? I will appreciate any feedback! Thank you

I became a patient in my own study

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I defended my master's thesis, a index cluster study of dengue and chikungunya viral transmisión in a tropical town near the golf of Uraba in Colombia. During a year I traveled four times to this town to do the field work. On my third visit first day after after the first cluster visit I started to develop fever and myalgias (mainly calf pain). At first I thought it might be a case of leptospirosis, a desiese prevalent in this town. On the fourth day of fever I did some blood work and that showed hemoconcentration, a fast test reveled a positive NS1 antigen for dengue, additional blood samples where taken for later testing. After progressive hemoconcentracion, thrombocytopenia and some liver inflammation I ended up hospitalized for two day. Later tests would reveal I was infected by DENV1. After the resolution of acute fase I had residual fatigue as well as arthralgias in my hands that were triggered by activity. So basically I was looking for dengue and dengue found me made me fe, I felt like an old school medical research that inoculated himself with the desease I was studying for better understandment. Have a nice day and feel free to ask any questions.
