OMG! It makes you wonder. When I couldn't get in to see my regular doctor I was forced to see one of his associates. I told her I didn't like the side effects of the current antidepressant I was on and wanted to try a new one. She took out the little "quiz" they give you, and I didn't even give her honest answers. I was feeling suicidal but I did not share that bit of information with her. I just said things like the first of my children is moving out of the house etc. When she finished and did the calculation, she said "You are too severely depressed for me to treat. You are beyond my comfort zone." So not only did she not give me a new ad, she didn't even refill my Rx for the old one.

She apparently filled in my regular doctor with this "new" information. He scolded her and I got a call about an hour later from his nurse stating the new Rx was called into the pharmacy and that there were now standing orders that if I call to see him, no matter what is going on I get an appointment. He had me come in shortly after to check on the new meds and made her come into the room to apologize for her unprofessional behavior.
