I read about a lab that usually gets results out in 10 days. @susanm56, going from months to weeks seems better, but was the old lab just bad? Most times, waiting a few weeks is not a big deal. Unless it's for a life or death thing, speed isn't everything. Better labs are good, but let's not act like this changes everything. It's just a bit faster, that's all.
Wait, so you think waiting weeks for test results is no big deal? Honestly @dylanh27, that's easy to say when you're not the one sick and stuck in limbo. A faster lab is a huge deal, not just a little thing.
Our old lab took 8 weeks for a standard panel. Like @susanm56 said, switching cut it to 12 days. That's not just a bit faster, it's the difference between starting treatment in May or July. When you're waiting on a diagnosis, every single day feels long. A good, quick lab takes a real weight off your shoulders.
