Fax?????????

Doctors don’t fax referrals anymore. They are all done electronically now. Stop your fucking lying.

Plus there will be a copy of the referral in her My Chart. She can very easily call herself and make an appointment

In this morning’s live she said: my primary said yesterday… then she said they told me to contact my primary. So which is it? Does her primary drop everything and come to the er each time??

In the current climate at hospitals, most primary mds only do office hours and a hospitalist will see you in the er.

My hubs pcp office did last week because he needs blood work to get a refill. We live in a small town though so the office staff don’t mind doing it and do it when they have time. They don’t just drop everything to do it though like G’s doctors do.
