Difficult PCP

[Guest guest]

Hey Judy,

Why don't you write a letter for your PCP to sign and take it with you

to

your appointment. Meet with her and then whip out the letter and ask her to sign

it.

My PCP letter just simply stated that he had been treating me for

obesity

without success and that he would be following my recovery in conjunction with

Dr. Rutledge.

I wasn't lengthy but just very matter-of-fact and to the point.

Heck, have her call my PCP, Dr. Dalton Rhea at 817/ 466-8001. He's even

referring his own sister to Dr. R for the MGB. He's tickled pink about my

progress.

Just a thought to get her off dead center.

Best Wishes,

Genz
