need a second signature

[beaarthur]

i have my app signed by my certifying medical provider for chronic back pain.
however NM requiers two signatures for chronic pain. my doc reffed a couple docs for that but were unable to help for fear of prosecution from the feds..? or whatever reasons. i need a doc that understands medical cannabis. i have records from my accident. i live in the alamogordo/tuli area!

Unfortunately, Im in the same boat you are in. I got my first signature for chronic pain today but still need a second. It's a mortal sin to everyone down here in Lea County as well. My advice is to hit up a friend who is a nurse. Or look up the doc in Alb. or the one in Santa Fe. Hope it goes well for you.

Wow that really sucks for all you medi patients trying to get your stuff together and no Doctors !! Sounds like these Doctors are missing out on some big money here in New Mexico. Wont be long though, until then keep up the fight and be safe.

Have you tried to contact Dr.Eve?
There is a clinic in Albuquerque also.

thanks for the input.
i have tried Dr etling in t or c she recommended i find a back pain specialist. Dr brown in ruidoso is a good place to start for those looking for a recommendation. anyone know if Dr dodson in alamo is open minded twords medi cannibis?

I GOT A APPMT ALLREADY IN T OR C BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW OTHER DOCS IN THE SOUTHEAST AREA.

Therein lies the problem. Or so I have found in ALL of Lea County. Havent tried C-bad or the Roswell area yet, but I am also limited by my insurance.

it sucks because i went to the doc and got my certifying medical provider portion signed and filled out, and sent that in with radiologist reports, and a letter from my chiropractor saying, i see him routinely for back pain. hoping that was enough but got a letter back saying i need another signature. after not being able to find a doc i sent my full records to santa fe. they replied they cannot review and make the decision without another signature and arnt able to reffer any doctors by the nm laws.. this i sooo frustrating. not gonna give up tho i have a doc app next week hopefully it goes well..

Dont give up! It will take a whole lot of frustrated people that try really hard and keep on trying. We are on the ground floor of some good change here. I will try any angle that I can to be a part of this. The more people thaty go to their doctors and request this, the more they will come to understand. This has been SO LONG in coming and everyone knows it... Still it will be extremely difficult for some people.

It is funny. Smokers have had the most to loose for so long...They take the risk and face the punishment. Doctors arent really risking a darn thing except a little false pride. Smokers have always been proud and shown passive resistance to the unfair laws. And many have paid a severe price. If my application does not go through I plan on hassling one doctor a week until hell freezes over. And I will practice passive resistance once every afternoon unti I fet that permit too!
