I like to live in a perpetual grey area....keeps my life interesting.
I skipped the Doctor part (sort of) by calling the rehab centre first and they told me I needed a "referral". So, I dropped by the Doc office and told the cute receptionist about my request. I also told her how I have been ignored by the Doc regarding my PN issues (totally true) and she wrote the referral on the spot and faxed it over. My Doc may find out about it...but that will most likely be after I switch primaries and go with a new guy in town.
This is one of the downfalls to healthcare in the USA. It sucks. It's days like this where I miss my Canadian healthcare (I still have it, but I am not a resident so it's a little more complicated) but I have no plans on moving back north.....
