Now your talking Keith.. I am not knocking RIPAC as people, I am sure they are good people. I am knocking the organizations ability to connect patients and doctors. SO when I see these people in here in pain, in need, and the answer about getting a doctor is talk to RIPAC, it annoys me. It annoys me because I honestly believe they have a better shot in forums, online or just asking friends about finding a doctor than they do going to RIPAC.
If this post were, What are my rights as a patient and where can I talk about mmj? I, myself, would say RIPAC, but when the only answer we see in these forums for finding recommendations is RIPAC it wears on me. So I think when I see that answer (talk to RIPAC) in every forum, it takes other people's want to help down a level, and the truth is,,,,, it isn't a good answer. People will read it and say, "ahh that persons all set, the guy told them talk to RIPAC." Lets just be honest that RIPAC hasn't been helpful in the area of which this post is subject to... Anyway, I am all for starting a coalition that helps patients find doctors, if we could figure out how to find these mysterious non pharma dependent creatures, they are very evasive.
