Text from doctor

Hi guys 

I provided a stool sample on Wednesday as there was some bleeding - the doctor said probably just piles checked the prostate and said it felt fine. I got this at 1930 this evening. 
 

Dear 

I've reviewed your test results. Please can you book an urgent telephone appointment with one of the doctors to discuss these.
Thanks
 

Surely if it was something serious they wouldn't text when they are closed until Monday or is this actually quite a normal text? 
 

I can't tell my wife we have so much going on at the moment I don't want to worry her but I really am worried. 
 

sorry if this is in the wrong part feel free to move it. 

  • Any health issues are a worry ,no matter where in your body it is . Hope your doing ok

  • I've had this done to me on a Friday night too, years ago.

    I was going through a blood issue, and as i was getting in from work, i just missed the call. I could hear it whilst unlocking the door. As i picked it up, it went to the answering machine. My gp closed at 6pm, and this was at 6.30. The message stated I needed to contact the surgery as a matter of urgency, first thing on the following Monday.  One of the worst weekends of my life.

    Came to Monday morning, and get pencilled in as an emergency to see the doctor to go over my results. Got in the doctors room, and he told me things were looking great. Whilst that news was good, i was also livid about how this had all panned out.

    To this day, i tell all the doctors never to call me with test results on a Friday evening. If something can wait 2 days, then it waits 2 days. I actually have a slight phobia of the phone ringing after that experience if I'm waiting for routine blood results. It all stems from that experience. I was fine before that.
