There are two known types of atelectasis. The first type is called acute atelectasis which usually results from surgery involving the opening of the chest cavity or the abdominal area. This type of atelectasis may also result from physical trauma to the lungs like during car accidents or stabbing incidents.

Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp. If your blood work gets sent to a Hospital who knows how long they will take. I work at Quest and I know blood work does not take longer than 7 days to process there because some of it will have to actually sit if the doctor wants you fasting.Status: Offline.hen it comes to blood work it will take a week depending on the tests. Since you said they did a lot I am sure they are checking your thyroid, blood sugar, testosterone, HCG levels, estrogen, etc.... If they did Urine that only takes a couple days. You should have gotten a call no later than 1st.
