DD 11 Blood Test Worry

2 replies

Hi just after some advice really regarding blood test results. DD has had a full blood count and various blood tests very thorough.
I rang for results and most are clear but a few are flagged to speak to a GP about when he can call me next week.
The staff said it was all non urgent and that if there was anything urgent the hospital would have called me etc.
Tried to be reassured but does anyone have experience of this in real life? Why can it wait until next week surely any oddities are important or is that not the case? I’m just worried that if it was indicating anything awful time is wasting.
Thank you

Yes:
Two different children.
One was very short on vitamin D
Other was showing severe allergies. The biggest allergy turned out to be the magic cream that they put on for blood tests, but also dust mites.

If it was urgent they'd have called you and got you straight in. When ds had one that did potentially show up a bigger issue he was back down for more tests the same day.

Oh thank you! That is what the GP staff said but when she read out the ones that had the flag I was worried but it could be a low anomaly and they want to mention it.
I just wish that it wasn’t a week to speak to the GP these days I wish you could have a call back in a couple of days.
