Recently ,I found out that after losing my insurance for three years (medicaid) when I went to the doctor(lame description) they had somehow misplaced all my records.Even the lame doctor who I saw said she was aghast about the whole thing..PLEASE! She was a horrible doctor!

Lost my Medicaid years ago when my doctor(halfway decent for a Medicaid doc) ordered an MRI and it looked like I was was going to cost some money.I got cut off that that (snap)

Back to last month..
This doctor was so bad all I wanted was my records so I could take them and flee in hopes of finding a good doctor.

Now when I call I am told I have to pay a dollar per sheet to get what is mine,
I said "have you found my record's " and I get Mamm ,you are not listening to me ! It is a dollar per sheet and I say I have it and then I get put on hold and then disconnected.
Always!!

The bottom line is they lost my records.

Basically a free clinic with doctors who don't know their a$$ from a hole in the ground.
What can I do ?

I cant afford to pay for my records and I wonder what happened to them?
According to this new Doc I saw(lamest of the lame) she is having a big discussion with the administration about that.

This place is horrible!

The first thing is do no harm,they have done me much harm ,many times,I'm talking unnecessary surgery.Bad medicine that could have killed me.These people are horrible!
The list is endless.

Maybe I should contact the AG'S office but any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks and thanks for the rant! I could say so much more!

Sorry to tell you but many years ago when I wanted copies of my medical records it was the buck a page thing and I had to pay for it or I couldn't get them. You can't get the originals (sadly) but you ARE entitled to a copy of your records. And you must pay the going rate that the office charges. When I requested medical records from some doctor's offices prices could be as high as $1.50 a page for a specialist's records.

Sorry to hear about your run in with bad/awful doctors. Yes, they are out there in droves. I avoid them like the plague unles I'm 98% dead.

Unfortunately they charge to copy the records. Most doctors do this, even the good ones.

Now, on the bright side...you can go to a new doctor and sign a release and the copies will be forwarded to the new doctor at no cost to you.

Greenie is a given with you always .Good info but apparently they have lost my records.
I am talking about a very poor health center.They are horrible.
Doctors are the rejects from any good school.If I had not had a semblance of medical knowledge I would have been dead by the hands of these fools!

artlady

If they can find them.they seem to be missing ! Its a a friggin circus. I will take your advice. Thank you.

Unfortunately even bad doctors get licenses...all they have to do is pass school and pass their boards. It's a good thing you have at least a little medical knowledge.

I'm sure the records will be found once you contact the local licensing facility.

I will and and I will let you know the outcome.'I was hoping you were on line today,if nothing else than support.
I have never had a bad nurse in my life! I applaud you for all you do!
Bad doctors ,a dime a dozen!
