Doctors can not refill prescriptions for narcotics over the phone.

By law they have to evaluate you in the clinic to make sure your not

becoming a drug addict, they also cant drop you like a hot potato as

said earlier, it is unethical. Call the clinic, make a stat appt

due to excessive pain, get evualated, get your script in HAND, then

tell the jerk your going to Duke and he can kiss your insurance good

bye!

Good Luck and let me know how it goes, I'm having a rough couple of

days, doing to much I'm sure. Today is my eldest child 18 birthday.

WOW; tomorrow a bunch of my girlfriends are coming up, I have

stalled long enough I just dont have the strenght to get the

house " company clean " .

Call that doc first thing in the am and get your butt down there,

make sure he writes for more then 30 days, fib about how much you

need so that there is enough to cover you until you see Pappas. Dont

feel bad fibbing to him, its not worth it, also on your way our tell

the secretary you want your file, yup the whole thing! May take a

few minutes to get, but it is YOUR file you own it and it will be

worth your while. If they offer you a copy, tell them they may keep

the copy. If you get any grief, pick up your cell phone, and say

somthing along the lines of welll thats not what my attorney said,

let me call him and check on that! You will have you chart toot

sweet.

Good Luck
