[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this next appt just a test?  Or is a test, get results, discuss results, and then go from there?  If just a test, I'd do the presentation [/quote]

She already said just a test. [/quote]

No she didn’t. She said that at the last test, the doctor discussed the likely condition with her DH and that this appointment is to have a ct scan to confirm the suspected diagnosis and to discuss next steps.

So if OP doesn’t go, she will have missed the initial testing, the discussion of those results and a tentative diagnosis, the confirmation testing, the confirmed diagnosis and the discussion of next steps. [/quote]

Yes she did in her very first post:  . They want further tests with specialists asap and soonest appt is of course during this presentation time. [/quote]

You need to go back and reread. At the previous testing, the doctor discussed the results and presumed diagnosis
With her DH, At this testing, she is anticipating confirmation of the diagnosis and a discussion of next steps. [/quote]

OP never said that she expected a meeting with the doctor. She said her son was getting a CAT scan. [/quote]

“I want to be there for my child as they are scared, I wasn’t there yesterday when they found this and the next appt will be important as they will confirm if defect and next steps”

If it's just the scan, I would have someone else take them, a relative or one of our closest friends. Make sure you confirm with the hospital what kind of written note you need to send if it's a non-family member.

If it's a follow-up appointment with a specialist who is only available that day and their next appt is in a few months or later, I would go to that appointment.

FWIW I've never gotten immediate results after a CT-scan for me or family members, and the only times it was same day was when they were admitted via the ER for something like a stroke. For out-patient, I've always gotten results later on on a separate visit. If you're not certain, message the provider and confirm when you'll actually get to discuss the results.[/quote]
