I tried to get my cardiologist to send my medical records to a new cardiologist I'd been referred to. It's kind of a long story--he was leaving the state so I asked him to refer me to a practice nearer my home, which assigned me to a nurse practitioner who was nice enough but extremely flaky (forgot to send in half my Rxs, etc) and I was just extremely dissatisfied with her, so I asked my PCP to refer me to this new one. I hadn't heard from them, so I finally called them. WELL. Come to find out they won't accept me without my records, SO I called both places. One sent me first to a number which was nothing but commercials, and then to a website which apparently doesn't exist. The other sent me to a website which was deemed "too risky" by my computer for me to access. WTF? Sooo, back to square one. Fired off a message to my PCP asking her to call them and have my records faxed. AUGHHHHHH!
