[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 6246671, member: 561910"] The patient could most likely move themselves to the PCP.. after all they got mostly likely got to the ER on their own if they are being referred to the PCP as a nonemergency .. Additionally, many hospitals are in large medical complexes that include pcp clinics, specialists, ect. In that case they could simply walk down the hallway or to another building on campus. My history at each clinic is one file... it just has entries from multiple doctors. The reason i even use two clinics is because before i left for Korea i lived 60 miles away from uni campus.. sometimes i'd go to the one where i lived and others i just go to the one near school.. now that i live close to school i'll probably just stick with the one here. Nonetheless, I'm leery of having a single medical file because i dont want to ever be labeled a "drug seeker". I am not one, but it only takes one suspicious doctor to make a notation and you're fukked. I don't ever go just to get narcotics or tranquilizers but by god if i have a cough/cold i want some tussionex (hydrocodone cough syrup) or if i cant sleep/stressed i want some xanax/valium. I pay upfront and out of pocket, so if i determine i feel shitty enough to warrant paying $80 for the visit and then another $80 for tussionex and who knows how much for antibiotics ect.. they better not give me no shit and waste my time/money.
