Yes, he has permission to talk to my pdoc and has done so on occasion over the years. He also consults with the pdoc in his own office in sort of a supervisory/supportive role. I am assuming he has discussed my case on occasion. In fact, I know he has because years back I was having some med issues and he asked the pdoc his opinion about what might be going on physically with me, and I did see that pdoc for a second opinion at my own pdoc's request (I'd forgotten about that until this moment.) I prefer that he discuss my case with my pdoc so we are all on the same page about things; he very much defers to my pdoc on matters of medication (which makes sense) and when I become severe and hospitalization decisions need to be made (which also makes sense).
