 Re: Doctor patient relationships...

Hi,
This is my first post here, and I couldn't agree with you more - a Dr./patient relatiionship has to be established physically.
I have done quite a bit of reading in here and there seems to be some considerable disdain for NROP's - when in actuality, the record OP's and NROP's are both technically illegal by federal law.
The closest any OP is going to get to legal is the ones that require a port-a-medic who converses with the prescribing Dr. on the phone during the actual examination.
The big problem however, is what you pointed out, the fact that there are too many I-know-what's-best-for-you busybodies out there. Most Dr.'s I've been to in the past 15 years are businessmen first, Dr.'s second. And until the War on Drugs and Christian-do-gooders cease to be huge profit inducing ventures, you will never be able to walk into a store and make your own decision.

You are absolutely right. The DEA's stance is that no OP (no-records or records kinds) are legal because there is no face to face doctor/patient relationship.
Possibly the port-o-medic could slide under the radar. The only ones that are considered legal are the ones where you get a prescription from your own doctor and send the prescription to an online pharmacy like walgreens.com, CVS.com etc.
I do not know how in the hell the DEA (who have had no medical school training) feel that they are the only ones qualified to tell the doctor what a proper doctor/patient relationship is.
The DEA is using underhanded scare tactics. They need to be stopped. They are violating our civil liberties. In my opinion, they are scum.
