If this story narrative is true as described in the article this is a ground for reporting the primary care physician to the state board for a review. I am not saying it is a malpractice per se, but a clear fail of the doctor's practice. All modern EMR systems (most popular in US is Epic) _automatically_ flag all the results that are out of normal range. A physician assistant should be alerted to this fact and take appropriate actions. Sitting on ER grade emergency for two days and then telling a patient it will take another 3 days to review the results is unacceptable.
