medical proof in shasta county

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am reluctant to talk to my regular doctor So i have made an appointment with another dr. who says for $200 he will give me a prescription for medical marijuana. This new dr. says i need proof of my current conditions It Shouldn't be a problem because I am disabled with lots of medical problems. How do I provide proof of my conditions. I was approved for social security disability for severe osteoarthritis ,Diabetes (with insulin injections) high blood pressure and as the result of an accident on my tractor bad chest pains that require hydrocodone for the last 4 years. I find that smoking weed really helps with the pain and insomnia. for years i was a guerilla grower but i want to do it legal now.this doctor said i need the money and any medical proof that i have. where can i get proof without going to my regular doctor and pissing him off. i sent a letter to SSI and requested my medical records but am not sure they will send anything. I have my perscription history online that shows all the meds i have scrips for over the last 10 years.Will any of this help. thanks in advance for any advise tnavel

What I did was signed a release of medical records and then took them to the doc with 200 bucks and that was it...simple.

Your just going and having an independent medical exam...just make sure your documents have your conditions clearly spelled out...the same as you posted above.

thank you for the response. do they charge for copies of your medical records? I can't see them giving anything for free.

yes...all doctors...especially in redding charge fr a copy of your medical records.

thank you
