[QUOTE="Andy, post: 190763, member: 5096"] Relase of Information should be tailored to each person. Items should be checked off as the form is made out. However, I can see where a docs office with support staff dealing with mounds of paperwork would have some ready ahead of time with every item their office would ask for for anyone marked off. If a staff member did mark the items off in your presence, than they were just going through the motions - they fill it out the same way day in and day out - it is a habit - they do not really look at it on an individual basis. I would politely decline signing that form. It shouldn't be a problem for staff to pull out a blank form and start from scratch and mark only those items you agree to. Then, ask for a copy to keep. The first visit to docs are so full of gathering info and giving you your rights and so automatic to the doctor's staff. They try to make things more effecient and quicker so you don't feel like you are being drilled. It is perfectly o.k. for you to question anything and refuse to sign something. I would encourage you to give this doctor another visit or two. Once he gets to know you, things will be easier. Once you get to know him, things will be easier. [/QUOTE]
