Hunting Down My Son's Killer

I do keep the same GP and GI docs.

I'm not allowed to have the relationship I describe. Even when I really do know the right answer, FDA laws require me to go to the altar of the MD to get a signed prescription. I'm forced to wait two weeks to get that appointment, even though I know the right answer.

(In reality, the doc is generally willing to call in the script on my say-so over the phone, but he's not supposed to do this.)

Can you get a 1-year refillable prescription? I have prescriptions that are refillable X times in Your months.

I don't get it. You are saying you don't actually have to go see a doc "in reality" then how are you complaining that you have to see a doctor before getting treated.

It sounds like CWuestefeld is complaining that the only way to get by is to bend the rules, and therefore, the rules are wrong and getting in the way.
