im looking for a doc in R.I

[skin4323]

I'm a 28 yr old male, who lives in RI. I have seizers, and several other mental disorders that qualify me to receive medical marijuana in the stat of Rhode Island. I am having difficulties in finding a Doctor who will prescibe it to me as it such a new law. Are there any Doctors that you would be able to recommend me to that might be able to help me. Thank you very much.

I'm from Coventry and I know the doctor you speak of as he is my doctor. Would it seem weird if he had a 300 percent rise in clients in a 30 day period?

I'm in the same boat, My Orthopedic surgeon tells me he thinks it might be a good idea but won't sign himself, can someone help me with finding a doctor that will?

Hey all,, I live in RI and have been searching for 3 months, I have been to 7 doctors, all who say "yes, it will help you, but the federal government hasn't legalized it, or it isn't covered under my med malpractice" Than I say, "its a recommendation, not a script, so its covered under ur 1st ammendment rights" than they say, "sorry".. Anyway guys, I've been shut down at every door... If any of you guys could find the time to help me out I'd really appreciate it. My email is [email protected] Thnx all

Hi, all.

Newbie here. I would like to visit a kind doctor too. The last ones I have been to - said,

1.) "I don't know what's wrong with you." He had these words of wisdom for me after receiving all the blood tests from the previous doc, who referred me to him... and I hadn't even asked for anything yet. Then he sent me a bill for $300.00 (Is it just me, or is something wrong with that?);

2.) "You're just seeking drugs, and we can't help you here." This was the first thing this doc said to me as he was walking in the exam room door, with out even asking why I was there. I was there because the doctor who did the blood tests (above) suggested that my primary medical group ( to which the doctor who accused me of "seeking drugs" belonged) - my primary medical group might want to know I had been in the hospital for 3 days with blood coming out of me...
again, I hadn't even a chance to ask about --- anything!

3.) oh, yeah - and the previous, previous, previous doc who dx me with fibromyalgia had his nurse call and "cancel my appointment" after I won my case.

I really do want some help, and if this forum can help that would be nice.

I wish they could all just agree on a dx., or give me some therapy which actually does something, not just more rx's.... the Rx's may sound fun, but there's nothing fun in them, just a bunch of stuff which interacts adversely and you're not supposed to take all together....smart, huh?

I hope this makes sense, confusion is sometimes part of the problem.

Thanks in advance,

: )
