Medical Records....

My pcp is dragging ass on faxing my records to the surgeon.....I signed my release over two weeks ago and still no records were sent!!! I called today and the lady was less than friendly! She said they have 30 days to FAX from the time of request. My surgeons office is ready to submit but can't without those records! I am really about to lose my cool!!! Any suggestions on how I can get them to hurry up?

It just doesn't have to be so hard. I wonder if it is a power thing or what. Who do they think they are working for anyway. I don't get it. So frustrating.

good for you. That is wonderful.. Shouldn't have had to happen that way but glad he saw you and thought to ask and then did something about it. Hope the wait isn't too long.
