So when we order labs, there is generally a 3-4 hour delay in getting results. There also appears to be only one scheduled lab draw per day - I haven't totally figured this out yet. We stalk the new results just as well as any doctor anywhere. Getting them back can help decide management for our patients and, more importantly, whether or not they can go home. To get these results, however, requires walking down four flights of stairs to paw through this box of new results looking for your patient. Not ready yet? Walk back up and come back later. I will never complain about taking the stairs again.
like i said. oh. my. gah.
