My family doc is within the university health care center; his office was demanding the pdoc's notes. They said he'd use the notes to write another prescription for an EKG. The EKG would be done at the same cardiology outpatient center where they are supposed to do them for all docs.
My pdoc has already written the prescription/order. (They would disregard my pdoc's order and put one in by one of their own docs IF I will give them my pdocs notes. No!!! I do not agree to give then private notes and I don't like how they are trying to disempower her right to write an EKG order and have it honored.)
In the meantime... I end up having to argue the points and have to wait for someone to pull their head out of their ***.
Great suggestion! I had immediately approached my family doc to get the EKG done right in his office; they do it for pre-op visits every day. I refuse to give them my pdoc's notes. They refuse to do the EKG w/o the notes.

They will not honor her prescription/order.
I hope it will get finalized soon, with a favorable decision.
Thanks for the suggestion! Ordinarily, it would make sense.
