I fondly remember the days when doctors took the time to call patients with their test results and explain the outcome.

Today? They send you a link to a digital portal and you’re on your own.

These numbers were accompanied by a warning that I might be seeing them before the doctor… and I should wait for instructions.

Which I did, for 4 days. No word, so I logged back onto the site and found a short note saying my primary physician had sent in a prescription for a potassium supplement.

No explanation, just that.

The next day I got an email telling me to log in for more results.

I liked this number even less.

It accompanied these numbers, so clearly something is going on. Not that I’d know what, because no one tells me anything and I’ll probably have to wait another four days to get a second cryptic note on the portal.
