i say go for it!

if i could or had more courage to, i just might! i had a physician send a referral order & info to a different clinic without my permission or knowledge! man was i blind-sided when the other clinic called me to set up the appt!
i was so pissed, i took a 'several months break' from this physician. (only went back cuz i live in a rural area and the options are few)

to protect myself now, i myself do not mention medical providers by name to others -> it's just a vague him or her or they/them!
