I had a patient call yesterday, 3/14, who had a vulvectomy done by a gyn-onc on Friday 3/9, to whom I referred this patient. She had taken 50 Percocet 5 mg and twenty ativan (? mg) since the surgery. She wanted to come to my office to get a refill on the Percocet (in KY this must be written). She was offended, nay, pissed off that I was such an unreasonable SOB (her words) for not wanting to refill the Rx without first speaking with the surgeon who did the procedure. I have refilled prescriptions for patients in similar situations but always after the operating doc's office calls first. What do you guys/gals do?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
