6/16

Medical testing is a part of modern medicine. Tests help determine a diagnosis, progression of a disease and success or failure of treatment. Waiting for test results can be awful. For some people, the anxiety is worse than physical pain.

There are time tested ideas that have worked for people to make the wait easier. A few examples of the practical ideas discussed in the article noted in "To Learn More" are:

  • Let your doctor know you are anxious about the results and ask that you get them as soon as possible.
  • Ask that you be informed of the test results before a weekend or that you be given the results on a certain date.
  • Keep yourself busy, especially on weekends.
  • Keep a balance in your life.
