That is so wrong. My 25 year old daughter has been dealing with a serious condition for a year now and she has to call each provider including the specialty pharmacies and sign a release so they can talk to me about her condition and order her medicines. My dtr was seeing a rheumatologist and she was getting no relief. One day we had to take another dr in the practice and loved her. You could tell she was surprised the other doctor hadn't moved forward in her treatment. We switched to her that day. Normally I am the type that would feel bad switching within the practice but when it comes to your kids health I'll do whatever it takes. Maybe you can switch doctors. Those are the HIPPA rules put in place for patient privacy. I am keeping your daughter in my prayers. She has to be so scared.
