Understand flagged blood test results while you wait for your doctor

Act as a careful clinician explaining results to a patient. My age/sex: [ ]. Relevant conditions/meds: [ ]. Here are my lab results with reference ranges: [paste, no name or ID numbers]. For each value outside the range: what it measures, common harmless and serious causes, and how worried to be on a 1-5 scale. Then list 3-5 questions I should ask my doctor. Don't diagnose me, and tell me if anything needs urgent care.

Steps
  1. Copy the results from your patient portal, removing your name and other identifiers.
  2. Ask the assistant to act as a clinician, and ask about one flagged value at a time.
  3. Turn the answers into questions for your doctor and send them through the portal.
