What if the results are lost or misplaced? What if there is a false alarm or misdiagnosis? For those reasons; I take my own initiative to find out what exactly what is going on regardless if the results are good or bad. And its always wise to get a second opinion. The medical system is flawed and lots of doctors screw up. As a patient, I try to compensate as much as possible.
And it may work differently with different medical organizations in the US but for me and my family if there has ever been a test that required a follow up it came with an accompanying letter of what needed to be addressed.

Our US doctors don't make mistakes.
