Hi!
I've been in the Medical field for over 30 years. I have a couple suggestions to help with the Dr. issue.
First of all, if you read your application form carefully, you may notice that the Dr. doesn't have to recommend MM or prescribe it. All he has to do is certify that you have the qualifying condition. Most Dr"s are as new to this process as many of the patients. Explain to your Dr. that YOU have made the decision to medicate yourself with MM. Explain that he/she isn't recommendig or prescribing. Just certifying your qualifying condition. You paid your money to be sitting in front of the Doc. He SHOULD comply with your wishes
