I'm hopeful (and confident) that this can be the experience of every patient in every care system. We just have to ask for it, and it is so much better (and doable!). Thanks for commenting, Ted Alex,

I had my cholesterol and glucose levels checked recently and after a few days, called my MD's office to have the results faxed to me. That seems like ancient technology! But it was the only way to get the results. I use the patient portal from HealthNet - fueled by WedMD - and they only items they seem to post are when and what is done, not the actual results.
