Is it normal that my blood and urine cultures still aren't back after 10 days?

Question

The doctor said they are still not back. Any idea why they would take so long? The doctor originally said it would take a few days. Does taking that long make it more or less likely that something is wrong?

Answer 1

nah, it just means the lab has a long waiting list. Don't worry, trust me.

Answer 2

Yes Yes Yes!!!

I got that done and it took 13 work days becuase there was a long line of tests before me! Check in with your doctor if it makes you not worry as much.

Answer 3

The results probably just got misplaced.  Have the doctor call the lab and ask for the results again.
