I get all my labs sent directly to me so I don't have to wait.  
My first tx in 2003 Doctor had me come in to tell me good news. I seriously doubt that he would call you if it were bad news. The Doctor has a responsibility to bring you to terms should the news be bad and he will also want to share in the joy of positive.  Either way there will be some counseling with regard to future lifestyle.

It sounds like you are saying your mental health worker pressured your doctor into phoning you with the results, and if that is the case then I don't think you can read anything into him calling rather than telling you in person other than that your doctor is trying to accommodate the request of your mental health worker. I just realized it is now hours later than your initial post; did you get the results yet? This forum is a great place to come with any questions about your test results, once you have them. Best wishes!
