You will smile more when you meet him - he is awesome!! I mailed my information the first week of October and my appt with Getson was Dec 3rd. Because of Thanksgiving maybe it would have been sooner. So I waited 2 months. He sees new patients on Thurs.

I gathered reports from all of my most significant treating practictioners. To obtain your medical records you need to contact each facility and provide them with the appropriate authorization, usually via fax. And then within a week or so you should receive a packet with all of your reports which document each visit you had with your doc. I sent Getson a packet that included data from my personal care physician, my original pain mgmt guy, my Boston pain mgmt doc, my PT that I saw for a year, my rheumatology work-up, a neurologist I saw only once, and I think that's it. I made sure everything was really organized and labeled and in the right order by date.

I am currently just waiting to hear from my attorney on whether I can have the ketamine infusions that he recommended in his report...very nerve racking!!

Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers!! XXOXOXO Sandy
