I had a bunch of blood work done yesterday morning and already the doc has called me to come in.

Typically doctors will call you into the office if there is anything out of the ordinary because they want to be able to read your reaction and determine if you're going to freak out, etc.
It doesn't necessarily have to be bad... there could just be something going on that he wants to give you reading material for. Or maybe you are pregnant - which can be bad or good.
Bottom line... if everything is completely normal... they will tell you that over the phone. So something is probably going on. But it doesn't necessarily have to be bad.
I had some irregular blood tests not long ago... and the doctor made me come in and talk to him about it. It was an elevated level of something that COULD indicate something bad, and he wanted to run a more complex test to be sure. Turned out to be nothing. So don't panic.

You never know. Some doctors like to meet with you face to face, just to make sure you fully understand the results. Make sure you write down a list of questions BEFORE you meet with the doctor, so you don't forget what you want to talk about when you're at the office. For future reference, when you go to get a CT, PET or any other diagnostic imaging study, you can always request a copy of the results to be mailed to you. They are your medical records, and you have every right to see them.

I'm going to be honest.
In my experience, if a doctor calls you into the office to discuss blood tests, then there is a reason to be concerned. it may not be anything major though. Could be low iron, and infection, etc.
I don't know if you doctor does this, but when I have bloodwork done I have to fill out a postcard addressed to myself. If everything is okay with the test, I get the card in the mail.
Good luck!

No, not always bad. Had a test discussion appointment today. What I thought was going to be the final dance turned out to be a completely treatable condition. The bad part is the worrying about it. All the best

It's not always bad, sometimes a doctor want to be able to answer any questions you might have. They might want to suggest some things you could do to prevent future problems.

Not necessarily, he probably just wants to discuss treatment. Don't be scared, not knowing is actually the hardest part of waiting.

usually if it's normal they will send it in the mail - for my insurance.
