[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 146777, member: 1024"] Yes, write the letter and send it certified. Then follow up with the medical secretary in two weeks to make sure that it is actually in your file and not sitting in with the papers to file. Unfortunately, there are many, many doctors who either don't dictate a correct history and/or they rely on a "form" that gets filled out by the transcriptionist and if it's not detailed by the doctor, it's all automatically filled out in a format, which is generally all negative for any abnormalities. I see it all too often. When you bring the report in to see the new doctor, bring the copy of your certified letter, as well. It's always a good idea to get copies of any reports, especially when going to any specialist. You were smart to get that. [/QUOTE]
