[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 369566, member: 8226"] I really like this idea too, but I hear what you're saying about not wanting to spend money for a doctor visit for this. Here's what you can do instead--I did this for a different type of situation where the theme was the same, in which I needed to let the doctor know something important but was not willing to spend money to deliver the message. I would take the letter and other documentation in hand to the office and ask them to stamp each sheet "received" by their office, date it, and sign that it was received. THEN for them to copy that and hand back to me. If it's just a sheet or two or even three, that shouldn't be too much trouble for them. The alternative would be to take duplicate copies with you, one for them, and one to be stamped received and handed back to you. They'll get the point that they'd better deliver the copies. You can always follow up with a phone call and speak with the doctor about your letter. If you're REALLY lucky, you might be able to catch the doctor behind the desk, in the hallway etc. and just quickly say something like, "I know you have a schedule and don't need to talk with you at this moment, but I'd just like to give you THIS (give envelope), and if you'd like to discuss further, give me a call." I don't see anything wrong with just asking the receptionist to ask her to come to the "window" or whatever between patients so you can hand her an envelope. All you can do is give it a reasonable try, but I would not invest too much time, energy, or money getting my point across on this. Just your leaving should send a message, and you're right. Nobody's paying you to fix their office problems. [/QUOTE]
