Stop accepting your doctors bullshit
I am not a doctor. I am not a lawyer. Do not take this as medical advice.
I am tired of the lies and bullshit from these doctors offices who advise that you that HAVE to have a consultation whether telehealth or in person appointment to GIVE YOU results of a test you’ve had at their office… I’ve been recently through a massive load of phones calls, emails, portal back and forth all because I have a disease the doctor and I both know about. It’s been documented since 2005 and we went through the same crap last year. However they just told me they would not release the results for me to view unless I did another appointment with their office and, you guessed it, charged me another copay. Do not blindly fall for this shit. I’m sure it’s happening everywhere, not just Sarasota but I’ll start small. Demand your records. Demand your test results. It is a hipaa violation for them to withhold that information based on them demanding a follow up. Yes some things are more serious than others. Yes this may be the first time you’ve heard bad news and having that appointment will suck but is necessary but if you’ve been living with this condition for decades and know the next steps for procedure/tests… fuck these predatory asswipes.
