How long to get test results at Santo Tomás Hospital?
Gesundheit & Wellness 2 answers • Maria G
I've been to Santo Tomás Hospital with my partner, who had an eye issue. We didn't have insurance, so we went to the public hospital. The doctor sent him for a tomography, and we waited for the results, which took over 7 hours. I understand it's a public hospital, but it's a long time to wait for test results.

But you didn't have to wait there... that's evaluated by a doctor, and that person has to evaluate a lot of results. Unless it's a matter of life or death, they won't give you that in less than a day.

That tomography result had to come out with some diagnosis from a specialist, not even a general doctor or intern, it had to be from an ophthalmologist or neurologist, for that exam to come out, not even in a private radiology clinic do they give you a tomography and that's it, it always comes with the opinion of a specialist in that, anyway, be grateful that you were attended to quickly, don't expect more from a public hospital, that's what it is, the social security is the same or worse, but with the only condition that you're forced to pay, which is worse!
