There's some news you just need to hear in person. And of course you're going to have a ton of questions and the most efficient way to do that is talk face to face.
Yeah will the doctor provide that information for free or do they hold that information hostage by making me pay them a fee for consultation? Just tell me the results of the tests over the phone, no need to rip me off.
It's criminal behavior disguised as concern.
if you get the information that you have a terminal illness, just refuse to pay them! what $expletive difference does it make?
