[tri-med] Re: so scared

When I was working as a medical receptionist, it was drilled into me 
that I was not allowed to tell anyone results, or make comments, 
unless told to explicitly by the doctor. I once said to a patient who 
was ringing in for an appointment, and sounded worried "oh don't 
worry, it's probably just a cold or something like that", trying to 
be reassuring, I was overheard by a doctor and boy did I get into trouble.

Actually the message to you should have been, "please ring this 
surgery back to make a new appointment for doctor to speak to you". 
or something like that, so as not to alarm. As Nanci said in her 
email, fibrolipomas are usually benign.
