Lu Ann, Trust IS no doubt the most important thing we NEED and MUST have when fighthing this diease. I have had nothing but problems with trust. In fact....that has always been one of my biggest faults...trusting much to easily. I think because I am honest...everyone else is. HA. I learned some rough lessens through life thinking that way. (But I still tend to trust first...ask later.)

But we have had a rough time getting OUR medical records...by law...they have to make copies of them and give them to use rather they want to or not. (Makes you wonder what they are hiding from us when they are so worried about us JUST even asking for them>)

My husband just told me today that the one lady told him, "this is unusal....we never have anyone asking us for their records." She told him that is why she was having problems finding any release forms for us to fill out. (ha Ha) What a joke...people ask for their records all the time...who is she kidding.

My husband said nicely, "If you can't find...or don't have a release form for us...we can make one up by ourselves and sign it." He said that works just as well. She played his game and said "that is a good idea...go ahead and do that and next time your down here you can drop it off."

So frustrating...I just want my records...its like pulling teeth! Your lucky you have never dealt with a HMO. Some people like them....they are usually the people that NEVER get sick. If you never get sick and don't have to use them...they are great for the price. But let something serious come up like what I am dealing with...and watch out...it changes quikly.
