how long before my lab results come back from doctors?

I went to the gynecologist last Thursday and had a pap done along with regular std testing...how long do labs usually take to come back? my doctors rule though is if their is no problems and all labs are normal then they do not call you. do you think since i have not received a call that that all my labs were ok?

Yes, I would.  Sometimes those offices get busy and forget to call when they should have.  I really hate that policy "Oh, yes, if everything is ok we will not call."
