Why would your Primary doctor not already have all the results from your other testing? Is that not standard procedure there, that a copy of all test results go to him? (I don't know how things work in the US ... )

I have a great doc, but he hates it when I come in with a laundry list. He'd much rather that I come in 2 or 3 times with information, then bombard him with too much all at once. That depends on his mood too though.

The other alternative, and I've done this before, is to drop a brief summary into his office several days before your appointment. That gives him time to read it when it suits him . . . and prepare a response for when you come in, rather then deal with things on the fly.

That's all retrospect now, but something to consider for the next doc . . .

Sorry to hear he left you feeling so bad.
