Just checked my email and had a response.

He basically said he treats sympotoms and not diagnosis and we would discuss my diagnosis at my next visit.

That's 5 weeks away...I don't want to wait that long. I want to know now. So I can research it and see if I agree with it. I don't want to be labeled as something that I am not.

Stupid pdoc for not allowing someone from his office call and tell me.
Squirrel, how about asking for a sooner appointment?

For liability reasons most doctors will no longer give test results over the phone.

As for having someone on his staff call you to discuss you diagnosis. Under rules of confidentiality they can't.
