Re: Prescription Monitoring Programs (double dipping)

I had this very same thing happen to me this summer as well. I couldn't get an appt with (#1-regular Dr.) for 3 weeks but (#2) could see me the next day & I was out of meds! That's an emergency to me ....hehe So I went & got Norco's (which I like better) intead of Lorocet 10's (my regular meds) so it wasn't even the same meds, well still Hydro's but anyway, if (#1) would have ask me about it I would have told him the reason but instead he treated me like a druggy! I also thought my records were CONFIDENTIAL that meaning the Ph couldn't tell anyone (including Dr.s) about my meds......Obviously I'm wrong though. And everytime I would go to #1 he would say well I made my calls to the pharmys this month & it seems you've been a good girl! Can you believe that?? I've been a good girl?? What the crap?? I took a peek at my records one day & he had been callin all the pharmys in the area (listed on the front page) to see if I had been gettin other meds! but ya know I don't even want to go back to any of those pharmys because they would now look at me like I'm a druggy!...They actually label you in the computer like that too..... Surely there is something you can do if the Dr is calling around like that. Ya know embarassing ya, labeling ya, just making the Ph's think suspisiously of ya & stuff???.. Needless to say I told that Dr to kiss my butt that I had another Dr that was a heck of alot better anyway & he didn't know who! (Which actually I told Dr #2 what happened & he decided to treat me anyway) I just wanted to tick him (#1) off like he done me But honestly that is the only time I have ever used 2 Dr's at one time. Sorry I got carried away (was mad)
Be Sweet,
Christel
