Doc won't tell me how much is in my band.



Recommended Posts

My Doc doesn't tell me either, and I don't push for a number.... It's just another thing I'd compare myself to.... How much weight have they lost in this amount of time compared to me? How many fills have they had in this amount of time compared to me? How many cc's are in their band compared to me? I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THAT, but by nature, I tend to do just that!

For me, it is important to know, and it's easy for me to know because I walk out of the radiologist's office with my xray and report of the fill procedure.

That said, am I wrong in assuming that you have the right to view all of your medical information? Isn't this a law in the USA?

The larger picture here, to me, is this dynamic of "Medical Professional As God" va. the naive patient who doesn't need to know what the Doctor deems non-essential information. That kind of dynamic would very much annoy me.
