Depending where you are, you need to look up some back and neck specialists who practice osteopathic medicine. There may be a place in Burien if you search enough. Best I can do. :thumbsup:

Hello Tyler,

Just out of curiosity, why don't you want to go through the THCF? I am in the process of obtaining my MMJ and was considering going through them. Is there a reason why they should be avoided?

Thanks....

[tyler2319]

its not so much they should be avoided the process takes a while you have to have chart notes from at least 3 doctor visits that are at least 3 months apart. i am short on money and connot afford alot of doctor visits like that. its not out of the question more of a last resort i suppose

The worse thing I've heard about THCF is they don't really have appointments. You'll end up being there the whole day.

Look around and find an e-mail to me. I will discuss your situation further away from the forum. I maybe be able to help you, but you will have to produce some evidence so I can point you in the right direction. :thumbsup: And this concerns a possible physician.

I hate to say this but.... Watch out for Sentry Medical Group

We have had several patients complaining about Sentry... mostly because they went back to there regular Doctor and found out they never sent any medical records to Sentry Medical Group??? [Meaning Sentry didn't look at the patients medical records before signing an Authorizations for them]... they are now afraid of getting in trouble by Law enforcement and not having a proper defense in court... they also complain regularly about them not having an office and ask why they work out of hotels...

Don't take my word for it [please], do some research and you'll find out for yourself...

Found what i needed i found a few medical clinics in spokane that will be a lot easier in obatining a medical card. I had one quick question does all clincs require the same amount of doctor notes or is it vary depending on whic clinc you go through? also can these medical recods be from out of state doctors. because i have just recently moved here from tennessee about 6 or 7 months ago?

Take all of what you have. I even used Washington State Labor and Industries Disability documents, Veterans Administration Records and records from different doctors. They are all relative :thumbsup:

[david98686]

All you need is a note in your medical chart speaking of your chronic or on going qualifing condition, they don't want a lot of records. :)

Jeremy Miller has now resorted to libel and he will be sued. He will not be able to support these allegations in court. We do not schedule patients without records. Sentry does have an office. We have successfully defended our patients 100% of the time...for the last four years. Something Jeremy certainly can't say.

Jeremy Miller, who decided to go into competition with Sentry (just last month after he begged us to do clinics at his facility in Olympia..and we helped him by doing two clinics there), can spread whatever lies he likes all over the internet for competitive advantage...that's the nature of the internet. Now he will have to pay for his libel and slander. I certainly hope he can afford it.

P.S. Ask Jeremy (if you can actually get him or anyone else on the phone) how he is protecting patient records.

Steve Sarich, Jeremy Miller, and the unnamed, wonder why you never see Paul Stanford here, lol? :stoned:

[rockcopper]

My wife is due to re-new here authorization for the third time through THCF. They required her to obtain up-dated records, stating her condition again so they could insure her condition is current. I on the other hand, have a new qualifying condition that has not yet been charted three times. Cancer,only twice, This third opinion is it really a requirement? Why? Why,:( the renewal? These conditions are terminal.

Damn...this shouldn't be about money...its medicine and human rights!

There is no renewal required under Wa MMJ Law. If your condition is terminal, degenerative, or chronic without any major changes, you don't need to renew. As for that, I have degenerative arthritis, and I have never renewed and there is no expiration date on my authorization. My records do say I need a knee replacement, and I haven't had one yet, and my condtion hasn't changed except to degenerate or worsen. :thumbsup::jointsmile:

[Dreadscale]

Hey tyler2319 :thumbsup:

You can get a recommendation from any doctor licensed in WA.

THCF just makes it a little easier than some.

You will still need proof of an existing, "COVERED" medical condition.

GOOD LUCK!!!

[white_stripeguy]

did you ever get your card? and how hard was it??

Steve, Please let me know about this Lawsuit. I don't believe you will actually sue anyone but if you do make the info available since you publicly stated you will. Can a Pharmacy that ISN'T recognized by the State actually sue another? This could be interesting if it happened and isn't hot air. This is the kind of stuff we need to see on the news....

[killerweed420]

Steve isn't going to sue anybody. He has no case and he's operating illegally anyway. The only reason he's in business is because King County has been very reasonable about dispensaries.

He won't sue anybody because discovery goes both ways.

I really doubt he wants a court looking into his business during a civil trial.

[killerweed420]

Steve just needs to calm down. He's in a dangerous business right now and I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. People have to get there meds from somewhere and we have no legal way to do it right now. So you have to push the boundaries to try and deal with it.
