I had an mri Wednesday the results came back Thursday, was due to see consultant on Wednesday this week and he's calling me at 7 pm tonight, been going out of my mind all day, i can't understand why he would call ahead unless time was key

My guess - as someone who has lots of scans - is that there is some on the scan they want to double check, which means they want to book you in for something else possibly while they have you physically there on Wednesday. But the consultant wants to set it up with you in case you have questions rather than leaving it to the secretary who isn’t allowed to answer medical questions.

Was there something specific you were having investigated? I can only speak from my own experience, but I have cancer and when it flagged up, I had a full body CT scan, more focused MRI, and an ultrasound and fine needle biopsy all in quick succession (like within a week ish).

Whatever the reason is I would be as reassured as you can be that you seem to have a great doctor who is on top of things. The worst thing was waiting around and not knowing what was going to happen next. But sounds like they are organised and considerate of keeping you well informed, which is really good (might not feel like right now though).
