[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 304989, member: 4264"] Hi again all. The letter stated the law (which I knew) about patient files. We do NOT get to take our files (because of course we could falsify them if we had them in our posession). He will keep my file for the next 60 days and if I get another family doctor he will transfer at my new docs request (and my expense). If I dont' have the file transferred it is no longer within my rights to have the file. He knows that it takes years to find a family doctor, so there goes all my medical history. The scans of my stomache etc from gastric bypass, my ongoing nutrient/vitamin levels i check for life due to the gastric bypass. All the test results from a gazillion specialists including MRI's and all the history leading to and following my MS diagnosis. Some of this exists in other places, the specialists offices, the neuro's. So I'm going to not sweat it. I really am disgusted at this doctor. No way no how would he have put in my private medical file anything he "heard" in a appointment with another patient. I can pretty much gaurantee it. So how could I prove it? I'd have filed a complaint months ago otherwise. But what can I do or prove really? I can do the walk in clinics for medications, bringing with me my history of medications from the pharmacists. I have used the same pharmacy for years luckily. They won't do any type of pain medications, but they will prescribe all my other important medications. There are several walk ins around town, one is very nearby. So the kids and I will use it. I'm just guffawing over the insanity of this guy hearing **** from another patient and listening. I'd give an eye tooth to know WHAT was said. I mean, not only that, but what would my doctor believe anyhow espeically since he knows me so well for so long, and this neighbor guy was a active nutcase!!! I can't get medical help via the military, only S/O. But when we get posted out of town, apparently the military are good about helping find new docs in new posting towns. Maybe that will work. At minimum, my neurologist should likely be able to relocate me to a nearby neuro when we do post out. My current neuro is an hour and a bit drive away so not convenient since we have no car right now. But at least he'll be available if I need a doctor for MS stuff. *sigh* I hope psycho neighbor has found a psycho neighbor of his own to make havoc with him. GRRowl!!! [/QUOTE]
