In reply to Do doctors have info of all scripts filled out?, posted by jonh kimble on May 5, 2004, at 22:29:39
> Sounds like a more devious question then you might think. my gp prescribed me some immovane (sleep aid) and id rather not have my pdoc know (hes unsually fussy about this sort of thing, and doesnt want me taking it even tho i need it...), but if hes going to find out then i dont want to look like im hiding anything. So, my question is, when you fill out a prescription, does the info that it was filled go to your doctors offices. thanks
I agree with Chemist--any doctor you deal with needs to know exactly what you're taking due to drug interactions. Being honest and open with your doctors builds trust; hiding things does the opposite. As far as them finding out anyway, my GP and pdoc are part of the same health care organization, but mainly working out of different facilities, and if I get a prescription from one, that info somehow does get communicated back to the other. I don't know if that's also the case
when your doctors are not working for the same outfit.Todd
