Hi there Smiley,

As an ICU nurse, I know very well that urgent blood work can be completed in half an hour, while routine tests are usually completed within 24 hours, as you say.

However, not all labs then finish the paper work and send the results on to the various doctors' offices immediately. The last time I had my cholesterol levels checked, it took over a week and several phone calls from my doctor before the results were forthcoming.
