Question for Lymepickle re: my Igenex results

I don't know if the laws here in Canada are different...so thought I'd ask you what you know?

My results are in...the ND in Victoria has them. Wouldn't tell me anything over the phone - not even if they were a negative. I do realize that they need to be interpreted, but i was curious as to if they were completely negative.

I have decided I don't want to travel to Victoria now..as the ND in my city will treat. So, I have asked the ND in Victoria to send me the results...the receptionist said, "no - you have an appt next week, you can get them then".
It turns out she isn't LL anyway...so not much point in going there...as I will want to see Dr. C. anyway. So, at this point I'm just looking at getting a presc. for Doxy to basically do a challenge.
The receptionist said she may do a consult over the phone and charge me $30. So, I have to pay her, and then pay the one in my town, as well

So, do you know legally - since I paid for these tests...can she hold them hostage...and not agree to fax them either to me or to my ND here in my city?

I thought Drs were supposed to be compassionate...she is aware that the long drive each way is hard on me..and I also can't afford to spend on a hotel...so we do it in one day.

She's a ND - and she's putting more stress on me - that's not right. She preaches about health of the whole body, including stress, etc. Where is her compassion - I guess it's all about the money for her. Well, I know for sure I won't be going to her. I was considering some IV Vit C or glutathione down the road...but nope, not anymore.
There's no reason for her to hold them..except she wants to extract more cash from me. Shame on her.
She knows the long drive is hard on me...she knows the pain and discomfort I'm in. She should be willing to send those results. She definitely is not creating any good will.
Does she really expect we'll have a good relationship now anyway...after this bantering back and forth?

Geez - can't believe the nightmare continues.

To be honest she should share them no charge. I don't believe in this whole only doctors can interpret these tests. The results are so easy to analyze anyone can understand and interpret them. Dr.C simply e-mailed my test results directly to me! That is the way to do it. As soon as the results came to him he got his receptionist to e-mail them directly to me immediately.

I guess it ultimately depends on the Doctors choice to release them or not . I believe they should be released immediately.

So, if I was to never see her again...I have no right to the results?

If I'm switching Docs, she should have to at least send them to the Dr. I am switching over to.

I sent the office an email stating I was authorizing that the results be sent via attachment to email, or faxed...and I would provide her the fax number.

I may have to get the ND here to talk to her.

Maybe my GP could get them. I'm seeing her tomorrow.

Thanks Traveler - My GP, even though she may not be interested in Igenex results may request them for me. She has been testing me non-stop since last September, as well as ordering ultrasounds, CT scans, xrays, etc. to try and figure out what I have. She has just been ignorant about the Lyme disease possibility (not saying that in a derogatory way - just she has no knowledge of Lyme and never considered it).
She has never once suggested it's in my head, and never once told me to go on psych meds...so I think she'll try to help me with this..if she is able.
