This happened to me also, right before a surgery. My surgeon is out of town, and I called all week and got no response, so I went to my PCP for a prescription. The pharmacy thought they were real smart and called both physicians. Needless to say they were both mad, but I explained to them what happened and after seeing a psychiatrist and getting cleared from being an addict, my file is not tainted. I also wrote letters of disappointment to both doctors. Instead of just calling me asking me what was going on, they jumped to the wrong conclusion. What gets me is that they both knew I was in soooo much pain I was having to have surgery in two weeks. What we have to put up with!!! You might try some of these things and see if you can rectify things.
