alt Hacker NewsI asked a doctor friend why it seems common for healthcare workers to keep the results sheets to themself and just give you a good/bad summary. He told me that the average person can't properly understand the data and will freak themselves out over nothing.
I'm in the US and have never experienced anyone keeping results to themselves.
In fact, I can now easily access even my doctor's appointment notes. I have my entire chart unless my doctor specifically writes private notes.
