Well, I'm in the market for a new Primary physician... again.

I need to refill my meds, I had all of the lab work done and set it to my former PCP along with the refill request.

I got a phone call earlier telling me that I need to come to the office before the Dr would write the refills. I asked why. The nurse said that the Dr wanted to talk to me about my A1c and that I also have to see an endocrinologist. I went downhill from there. Apparently, he wants me to come in so he can lecture me about the results. I told her I wasn't going to come in and he had what he needed, which is the test result.

Then she starts asking me who my primary was. I told her that they have been my primary for almost a year now. She continued to tell me that I needed to come in to the office.

My response: I'll just find a different doctor. And then I hung up.

With 20 years in health care, I'm not about to play their games. My gut feeling that the doctor making the demands was the same one I saw earlier in the year. When he wrote my prescriptions back then, he screwed 2 of them up. This is the same guy that had the lab tech come in to draw blood before he even saw me. They have a nasty habit of writing scripts for everything, but one of them is always written for a lesser number of refills than the others, forcing you to go to the office and spend more money.

Angry
