Your privacy matters
/It’s frustrating when the caller on the other end of the line is demanding and unreasonable and someday it seems like the calls are all difficult. We at Bloom are between a rock and a not-so-hard place. Not really. It’s pretty clear cut. We are a doctors office. You (the patient) has patient client confidentiality and privacy rights in relation to your personal private medical information. This is your medical information. If you need a copy of a letter or your recommendation for work, court, or an art project; we can help. The process is simple and just like at your general practitioners office. You contact us and fill out a release that allows us to discuss your personal private medical information with whatever party you chose. If you want us to talk to your mailman about your migraines and sciatica; bring it on. Just initial here and sign this little piece of paper first.
If you are frustrated because demanding information over the phone from a doctors office (a medical marijuana doctors office) is just too much bureaucracy for you, I suggest looking into a career where you are not responsible for obtaining private information. In today’s age, I don’t know why people give any information over the phone without written consent.
Just because this is medical marijuana doesn’t mean we are all back alley drug dealers or shady characters. Our patients proudly go through the front door.
