Reluctantly I am gathering together medical records because of all the latest bs with the no record OPs going under.
I have had many doctors, would rather exercise my right to privacy, and do NOT feel the need for a Dr/patient relationship. If I wanted one, I have a long list of unsympathetic, uncooperative Dr's on my insurance list to choose from $10 co-pay! Wow isn't that wonderful? NOT!!!

I am a private person and don't feel that I should have to explain my needs to a pompous judgmental Dr. I like my privacy, would rather be my own Dr. and point and click thank-you. Sorry but it works for me and I know it works for other people, as well. If a person leads a productive life, holds a job and takes care of a family, what gives the government the right to tell us that we need to have a Dr. patient relationship...just that phrase alone sets me off.

The idea of faxing my drivers license and medical records to some online pharmacy is very irritating. Doesn't anybody else kind of feel funny about this? Boy, and if the DEA started hitting the record OPs, wouldn't they have the goods?

Record OPs aren't safe either and could all disappear in a few weeks just like the non-record OPs. There really isn't any difference between the two. People probably fax these places records that are illegible, bad copy, incomplete and what not anyway.

When I requested my records, they looked like they were written by a five year old who flunked kindergarten.

So, these places charge this consultation fee, and are still allowed to put restrictions on you anyway , but aside from all that have a nice picture ID from you with your driver's license #and/or SS#.

Anyway, I detest it and think that somehow this defies all common sense. Only guessing, but I would wager that many of us are here because all things considered in a Dr./patient relationship...well, we would just rather not.

Personally, I know people who like to go to the Dr., this Dr. that Dr. I work with a few people who think its great to be constantly going to the Dr. I find it to be exhausting and don't have the time or patience for any of it.

Adults should have the option of doing what works best for them. I would rather spend the least amount of time "doctoring" I leave my Dr's office with a bag of samples of all kinds of crazy I don't need that, but some people just love it... kinda like going to a garage sale. Wouldn't give me any freaking Ativan, but had no problem going to the closet to get a bunch of samples of shizzle.

I left with a bag of junk from Doctor Dearest, which I knew I didn't want to play the lab rat for.
