Here is a letter that I sent to the Office Manager of Oregon Cardiology, located at Peace Health Sacred Heart Medical Center, by fax on 12-10-19.
Re: “Urgent” Medical Record Request, Failure to send follow-up records, and more
I am writing to yo to express my disappointment with your office due to the following reasons:
Obviously since no one called, the records were NOT “urgently” needed; you were able to complete the patient visit without them.
I seriously doubt that anyone at your office will respond to my five questions in writing as I would like to see done, so recognize that I will be posting about these incidents on my web blog and specifically citing your clinic if I don’t receive a written response by close of business this Friday, 12-13-19. If I can take the time to complain in writing, you can respond in writing too.
Signed off, Dr. Darryl George
Guess what? Someone did call on Tuesday, 12-17-19, but failed to leave a message when we didn’t answer. But no response since then and definitely no letter as requested.
So here’s my blog entry as promised.

Per a letter I wrote awhile back, I see that the Oregon PDMP is finally reporting the refills properly per my suggestion.
If they want to claim religious beliefs, then they need to be willing to pay the consequences of such beliefs too.
Pulled out some records to check some things and refreshed myself with something I had been meaning to post earlier but got distracted.
I find it amazing that so many clinics, especially pain clinics are ignoring the requirements of having pain agreements and Material Risk Notices with their patients.
CHI Mercy is so great about spinning the details on anything that they can turn into a big billboard along the highway. Let’s see how they spin this one off too.
