After having blood drawn at a lab, how do you review the results? Please select all that apply.

The lab’s [hospital’s] online portal posts 80% of results withing 24 hours or less. The other 20% are posted within 48 hours. Great speed and accuracy by those guys. Now if they could just get away from the antediluvian practice of using primitive usernames and passwords. Doh! 🐵🙈🙉
I receive a notification from the lab and from my healthcare providers portals when my results are available to view. I do a preliminary view and then at my next meeting or if there are issues my doctor will either respond via the portal or call to discuss .
I don’t understand why response 3 ( which was “Through my lab’s online portal (e.g., Quest, LabCorp online portal or app)”) doesn’t have the same number of people selecting it as response 4 (which has exactly the same text)???
I have to phone clinic for results
I check the physician’s portal as soon as the labs are available. I have to check the portal again 3 days or more later for the results that take more than a few hours after the draw. Endo reviews all labs drawn at the appointment (1 week after labs).I request a hardcopy of the labs for my records. I also maintain a spreadsheet of my lab results.
Either at my appointment after the labs were drawn a hour beforehand; if labs ordered at the appointment by phone or portal.
