Could there have been a problem with your blood tests? Did you phone them back?

Sorry, just realised it's the weekend I have just gone through the same thing though.

I got blood tests done last week to look for a few things including cancer due to an ominous symptom. Missed a call from the dr hours before I was to get the results. Turned out there was a problem with one of the tests so it had to be repeated.

I work for a gp. If it was that urgent you would be called after hours and not left until Monday.
