Generally yes they will only call you if there is something wrong. Family docs / NPs have too many patients and tests to call everyone with normal results in most cases. A few things are weird about your case though.

1. 8 months for a follow up test
2. not telling you why you needed it
3. not scheduling a follow up

While I’m sure stuff like this happens often, ideally it isn’t supposed to. You should call your NP and schedule a follow up yourself.

I prefer self checkout if I have a few items but it can be a pain the more items you have. There isn’t a lot of room in the bagging area and I have to fight with the machine freaking out over unexpected items in the bagging area 🙄

While I agree that supply is only part of the problem, I find this article just vaguely blames capitalism without providing any real solutions.
