Remember when our govt did more to stop the distribution of ivermectin and hydroxycloroquine than fetananyl?

Asked my dr to prescribe HCQ and her response was "Our governor won't let us." Six months later, I repeated the request to learn "Mercy Medical won't allow it". I go in to her in a month and will ask again. If I get the same response, it will be time to find a new health care provider as my supply will be low.

So basically, your doctor is really not your doctor. You should say, “well I guess you’re not my doctor then, it’s really the governor and Mercy Medical. You’re just a tech following their orders.” I bet that would make them mad 😬

Yeah, and it will go into your medical record. "Non-compliant" or as I was told 5 years ago, "medication resistant". My PCP who has now moved on to be a vascular surgeon, could not believe the report that my physical therapist wrote about my 3 month stint. The fact that PT was one of the only truly helpful treatments I've ever had did not occur to her. She was shocked. I'm PCPless now and it feels good.

I hate that. “Non-compliant.” Like you’re a toddler or something. Very revealing that it is not a collaboration but a hierarchical relationship. Which I completely disagree with and I think is detrimental to care and outcomes, not to mention dignity.

Most docs have a god complex. They don’t like to be questioned about anything, especially when they are wrong.
