Well put. And yes, it was definitely unprofessional. I'm sorry that happened to you, travelbug.

I'm struggling with the med list thing right now too. Filling out the paperwork for an upcoming appointment has got me pretty hinky. The wording struck me... funny. Not as in haha. For starters, in the conditions list, it's listed as "psychiatric problems". That feels judgemental. None of the others are listed that way. Then in the section for listing your meds, they also want to know why you are taking it(!) It has absolutely NOTHING to do with what I am seeing them for! I'm usually good about it, but I have a bad feeling about this case. It's a specialist I've been referred to. It's an ongoing condition that has majorly negatively impacted my life for 3 years now. I just want answers. I simply can't risk judgement on such an important thing.

I debated it and decided I would treat it as I have treated the putting of my social security number on job applications in the past. Information shall be given upon relevance. And not until. I'm not mailing it ahead of time. We'll see. I'm nervous, but this is VERY important, and I refuse to chance being judged or not taken seriously.
