[PhilAmTx 14]

okay,i had my sputum test and i they gave me date when to called for the result,supposedly on 29th of august..but some said we can get result a week or 2 before the date given..so i called today for my result..the lady told me to come on monday and bring passport.she won't tell me if its positive or negative... now i'm worried... does it mean something bad or good?

They won't give you the results over the phone simply because they are not allowed to do so. It has nothing to do with the results of the test.

Good luck with that.

the lady told me that in case that your culture test become positive, they will call you right away to immediately start the medication..yes, maybe they wont give you the result over the phone but if they told you to bring your passport with you..it has a big chance that your culture is negative, but still nothing is certain until they tell you that you are negative..but i think the result is negative so dont worry,.. :thumbs:

Sir Clark gave my result over the phone. When I called (which was 5 days earlier than 'sposed to ), he asked my name, got my file and said "Oh, Mrs. (surname), negative, you're good to go." I was surprised and asked him. "Excuse me? Did you say negative?". He laughed and said "Yes!". That is a Happy Memory!

it doesn't matter if they give you or not the result over the phone..what important is when you go to SLEC, they will tell u that your result is negative, that's what matter most.. :)

yes, i dont know who SIR Clark is, and why?did i say something wrong on my post?what im trying to say is it doesnt matter if they give u the results or not over the phone, what impt is your results turn out negative right?

i know you've been through this so you already know our situation. thats why i joined here to have some ideas on what to do..

im very thankful on all of your HELPFUL ADVICES..

Yes, I figured you don't know who he is. Otherwise, you would have understood the gist of my previous post.

Sir Clark is the one who handles all the "sputum" files. He is the "Y in the road", so to speak. After the test, the file is sent to him and he forwards to the appropriate department.

So, If you get Sir Clark on the phone and he tells you the results. It's bank.
