Hi Doc,

You are so right..... incompetence abounds is an understatement in today's world.

I have a few scripts that are PRN, as needed. When I have a doctor visit, the medical assistant will send my pharmacy the FULL list of my meds and they fill the ones that I do not need since I have some remaining since they are NOT taken daily.

I have to catch that when I pick up at the pharmacy AND the pharmacy has taken time to fill something that I decline.

I see some advantage to having your prescription history made available to your doctors in an attempt to STOP doctor shopping for meds but not everyone is trying to get meds for which they do not need. This information seems to be available to governmental agencies that have no business knowing what medications I take. I guess doctor/patient confidentiality has gone the way of the dinosaur.

PS. A little off topic but I was shocked and NOT happy when I discovered that every patient's BMI is being "reported".
