[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 522152, member: 1991"] Well, no script from the previous specialist. It would have required some complex paper-juggling from officials, but I did have the name of the boss official who had said he would sort the paperwork for us. However, I felt like a louse even asking. Even though I phrased it as, "Dr X [the shrink] asked me to ask you if you would write the prescription," I still upset the old doctor. I feel bad about that. I am going to write a letter for him, it should be waiting when he gets back from two weeks' leave. So I'll give easy child 2/difficult child 2 some of difficult child 3's short-acting medications to see if she can manage to dose herself with those as needed until next Friday. I found out last night when I talked to easy child 2/difficult child 2 that the old doctor had rung her in her lunch break and apparently then rung the new shrink to get the low-down from her. So on his last day before leave, on a really busy day shuttling between two practices, he has had a lot of hassle and interruption on behalf of someone he can't even bill for, because she's over 25. He's a darling man. He has written the referral for the neurologist, we should have that next week if it went in the mail today. We have one working day turnaround of our mail, so it should arrive Wednesday or Thursday. Although it's possible the mail will be getting sorted on Tuesday, when many businesses come back to work. It will be okay. In the meantime, we're wondering if the reason the shrink won't prescribe, is because she disapproves of stimulant medications. Certainly some of the things she has said about medication have me concerned. So I've asked some questions of some people we know in Pharmacology at the uni. it's handy having connections! And where you don't have connections, you make 'em! Marg [/QUOTE]
