Hello everybody. I don't post much on the free board. I usually post on the VIP board. In response to all the negative press about our wonderful Doctors and OP's I wrote this...

Hey out there. I think OP's have a much better chance of survival if they have our medical records. Even if we use different OP's throughout the year, we need to make sure that we offer our medical records to them as they are offering a wonderful service to us. Think of all the traveling and phone calls that we'd have to do if it weren't for the legitimate Doctors and OP's who are taking a risk and providing a highly needed service for us. I think we could do this. I just ordered a copy of my medical records from all of the doctors that I have had for the past 3-4 years. When I was with university physicians I had a copy of my medical records sent to them. If we see our primary care physician and let them know about our pain problems - THEY HAVE TO DOCUMENT IT and recommend some kind of treatment. That's what the good Doctors and OP's want - DOCUMENTATION of our condition.
The MSNBC or Washington Post article mentions overdose deaths and teenagers ordering controlled substances - WE ALL AGREE (I believe) that we shouldn't abuse these medications and teenagers shouldn't be able to order them. If our Doctors have our medical records, there won't be any confusion over our age.
Just think of all the lives that have been saved due to legit. Doctors and OP's. Many people have been able to get back to work, parenting and somewhat of a normal life.
Let's be proactive.

Sincerely speaking,

Chuck
