Shouldn't the GP have contacted me re results?

Just had another bout of liquid diarrhea, this immediately after eating some oat biscuits. Remembered I didn't get the results of my microbiologic poo tests a while ago so checked online. Assumed all clear cos no phone call.

Results all negative but the laboratory comment says 'bloodstained'! Gp notes above it say 'normal'. Then a note about a fit test above it, that I was never told was ready to pick up.

Have come to the surgery to pick up the fit test & queried the results with reception who've said I can see a Dr now. So I'm sitting in the reception, shaking & with a gurgling stomach bricking myself.

Shouldn't they have told me?!

I’ve always been told to call for results, they should have definitely told you how you were going to receive them. If you had been waiting for them and worrying over the outcome all this time then it’s very bad practise for then to just leave you
Did you get offered a follow up appointments where they might have been waiting to go over results with you?

Hopefully it’s a “no news is good news” scenario and you would have been contacted with any bad news.

I hope your appointment goes ok and you get to sort any issues and feel better soon xx.

So, our surgery runs on a 'we'll phone if there's a problem, you'll hear nothing if there isn't' basis. I thought I'd just check the results from January on the off chance today cos of repeated runny incidents & noticed the 'bloodstained' comment

Asked the Dr today what that meant (the test was to check for things living in there, not blood or inflammation) & he said they will have just seen it on the microscope. Still don't understand what that means tbh. There was fresh fissure/piles type blood at the time on the tissue. Does it mean that?

Today's Dr palpated my stomach, tenderness on the lower right (which I had in January too), he noted a high ca125 a couple of years ago which I was scanned for (fibroids found) & 125 went back down after anyway.

He wants ca125 again, along with inflammation, coeliacs etc (all clear on last bloods in dec).

I explained I've got serious health anxiety & bless his heart he rolled over to me & held my hand then spent a few minutes massively distracting me, looking up my food business. Love locums.

Hubby is away, just me & my boys & I just want a hug!
