UPDATE and Additional Info: When I went to Dr. # 2, I did NOT use my insurance (payed cash for the visit) and did NOT mention Dr. # 1's name anywhere - (it is one of those "doc in a box, walk in" clinics.)

I did finally get my complete medical record file from Dr. # 1 and spoke to the office manager (who happens to be married to my Dr.) and from what she said to me and from what I can read (handwriting is terrible and they didn't do typed transcription) this is what happened:

Back in the summer, I also went to Dr. # 2 for a visit about my back, I couldn't get in to see my normal Dr. #1. I got a script for 10 Vicodin and had it filled at the drugstore (Longs) across from Dr. #2's office.

I must have, at some point, gotten a script filled at Longs also from Dr. #1 (although I do not remember doing so) and so when I used Dr. #2 again this last time (injured my knee) and filled the script for (worthless) Darvocette at Longs, they must have, in turn, called Dr. # 1's office to let them know I had gotten a controlled substance script from Dr. #2 and then Dr. #1 called Dr. #2 and let them know..... Judging from all the notes, it appears as though that is what happened. It then appears that Dr. #1 took it upon themselves to call a few other chain DrugStores to "enquire" about me..... they did note that over the summer I had a script for 10 Vikes filled at a Fred Meyer pharmacy (that was due to an ER visit on a Sunday) and a script filled also at the Fred Meyer for Lorezepam (from my Psychiatrist for anxiety) and on the last page of my records, it is written (and I quote) "future requests for Vicodin will be denied, drug seeker."

SO! - With that, I am now looking for a new Dr. and will NOT mention my previous one and will use a completely different pharmacy altogether for any meds I happen to receive. I guess one small thing leads to a big chain of events.....it was just weird and shocking because I paid with cash for the visit AND the script from Dr. # 2 (Narcotics seem to be some of the the cheapest meds, cheaper than my co-pay even....)

SO - live and learn and let this be a lesson to all of us, especially me!!!

(Sorry so long, but I had a lot to say)

OH - and P.S. - When I asked the office manager at Dr. #1's office exactly WHO made the call to the other Dr.'s office, she said she had no idea because it is not noted in my chart anywhere that any call was made.......
