[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 711186, member: 1233"] One thing that each of my kids knows is a condition of living in my home, or of having any support from me, is that I be on their HIPAA forms as having the right to having access to their medical information and to speak to their doctors. I don't do this to be nosy, but because I am their mother. I truly have their best interests at heart and want the best for them. When it comes to medical things, I have a ton of experience and darn great instincts. . Heck, if I am discussing surgery or something like that, I take my own mother to the doctor with me. She is probably my best advocate as my husband is lousy with doctors. She and I don't always see eye to eye, but she wants the best for me and I trust her when she says a doctor is full of garbage. My kids have known since they were little that this is a "mom's way or no way" issue and there is no give on it. You might consider this with your son if you can negotiate it so that you can have an open discussion with is doctors so that they can know that he is snowing them. Heck, take video when he is high. Show it to them to give them concrete proof of how totally he is fooling them. Get him to admit to you how high he is, what he is taking or using, etc.... Video it and then insist that the doctors watch the videos that you make while you are there. Don't ever just email the video and trust that they will watch it = been there done that and they won't. Honestly, they don't really have time. They have too many patients. So you need to schedule an appointment and then not take your son. Have an appointment just for you to show them the video and discuss a plan of action. I found that video, especially short clips that showed shockingly violent or strange behavior, or evidence of whatever that your son is snowing them about, such as his drug use, was vastly more effective than any words that I could use. VASTLY more effective. [/QUOTE]
