I was referring very clearly to your job as a moderator if your title is correct. Sorry about your medical issues and those of your wife. Sorry you don't feel that your doctors are showing you the respect you deserve as a patient seeing them for your care. That has nothing to do with how I see my patients or me. It also has nothing to do with the court of appeals ruling this thread is about.
Dr. Bob
Hi Bob,i am not angry at any of my doctors infact the doctor of our's who uses his I-Pod the most i absolutely love , i also understand why he needs to use an I-Pod to maximize patients per hour , the whole I-Pod reference was an example of doctors using technology to speed things up ,help more people & keep costs down .
I also used it to compare with other methods of medicine such as doctors faxing MRI test results to the primary care doc , faxing medical records , faxing prescriptions , using the telephone or skype for consult with other doc's ect , all non face to face interactions which have the possibility of errors , confusion & mix up's resulting in harm to a patient .
I dont see the difference with mail in , phone call , fax or skype cert's , its all just methods of obtaining information or passing information along , i fail to see how Dr Proctor is acting unethical , practicing bad medicine or putting any patients at risk or in danger , ive certified with DR Proctor as well as know him in real life & he is far from unethical ,he works his butt off helping people & he does care , ive witnessed DR Proctor decline to certify quite a few people on various occasions so i know he isnt running a prescription mill for profit .
IMO the whole mj as a scheduled narcotic idea is a farce , not only to users but to doctors as well , let's be real here were not talking about Fentanyl , Oxycontin , Dilaudid or other deadly & highly addictive schedule 2 narcotics , drugs where doctors involvement in its prescribed & monitored use is crucial to patients health & life its pot for gods sake ,the asprin of narcotic drugs .
Do we really need to train doctors in the use of pot ? Im not trying to disrespect you or belittle any medical mj training you've had but once again its pot , even the president of the United States ( Bill Clinton ) figured out how to use pot & not endanger himself .
IMO the whole idea of persecuting doctors over tiny non harmfull details is a waste of time & money as well as disrespectfull to the prescribing doctor & taking a step backwards in pain management .
