well docs going down?

I loved that CDPHE was doing it but where in A20 does it authorize PA's to make recommendations for mmj?

Many of the recs in question have 2 signatures, one of the PA and one from the physician. The CDPHE says this makes it unclear who had the relationship with the patient, but two medical professionals must be better than one, at least that's logical to me.

Ammendment 20 is now Article XVIII - Section 14, and it doesn't explicitly allow for PA's, but there was a time when CDPHE accepted them, then flipped policy without notice.


The language in question

(I) The patient was previously diagnosed by a physician as having a debilitating medical condition;

(II) The patient was advised by his or her physician, in the context of a bona fide physician-patient relationship, that the patient might benefit from the medical use of marijuana in connection with a debilitating medical condition; and

I can go to the ER and NEVER see an MD. I've had stiches, pain meds prescribed, and diagnosis made w/o an MD or DO, but for some reason an office that uses both PA's and a physician to conduct exams isn't bona-fide.

I can't find the logic in it. Reefer madness strikes again.

I've heard the health dept isn't exactly thrilled with the new MMJ division they've been forced to make. When I called them, I sensed they really didn't like answering questions related to MMJ all day long. When I asked them for a recommendation on what to do, they said "We don't recommend anything."

How do I look up my doctor?

If you are looking to see if your doctor is in good standing, you can search from this link:
https://www.doradls.state.co.us/alison.php

If you need a doctor to write a recommendation, go to our home page and click on 'get your license' then 'doctors recommendations' where we have referral information.

I've been gathering info from several patients that saw Dr. Lenny Sujdak. Some were seen by a woman and others were seen by a man. Some were seen at well docs and some at red card district. All asked specifically if he or she was a dr. and told yes.

Initially, I was angry with the state, but since Dr. Lenny Sujdak can be both man and woman, I have to wonder. Sounds like fraud to me. Maybe not entirely the state's fault.

The state says they have to approve or deny apps within 35 days, so that's one point of contention. Secondly, if we are all having our apps delayed due to this Dr. or PA's fraudulent misrepresentation, we may have a class action against the Dr. and or PA, as well as the company using this guy. I'm no lawyer, but I would be interested in getting together with others to see one. I'm taking emails at ciagiat at hotmail.
