You are entitled to your contact lens and glasses prescriptions.  However, if your last exam was more than a year ago, your prescription will probably no longer be valid.

Your employer can call the doctor's office and ask if they provided a doctor's note for you. They just can not ask what you were treated for or for any medical information.\n\nI work in HR and even if you are able to get a dr's note and your company accepts it, I can tell by your attitude that sooner or later you will work your way out of this job.

No, you have a different eye exam for contacts, so the same script wouldn't work  -  it's a different type.

There's a thing called the "Little Blue Book" and it has a listing of all the drs in your general area in PA. You could probably contact your healthcare provider or any health insurance company to find out where to obtain a copy- even if you don't have any coverage yourself. You can usually find the number to contact them by looking on the back of any insurance card. Good luck and if you need help in Pittsburgh PA, feel free to email me- I work as an emerg telephone operator at an answering srvc for drs, etc.

All of your doctor records. They will want copies of them.  Also letters from any doctors you have seen for your ailments.  It would also help if your doctor(s) put a letter in your file describing your dissabling condition

If you want to investigate a particular doctor, all you have to do is contact your state medical board.  If they have been on the receiving end of any disciplinary action or patient complaints, you can access this info.  Also, there are a number of online sites where this stuff is posted. See my sources below for url's, some pay some free.  Also, I'd go to your state medical board's website.

Ask the doctor who diagnosed you.

Your doctor's office should have one. Otherwise, you could just write on a piece of paper that you authorize your (or your child's) medical records to be released to so-and-so, then sign and date it.

no, medical history is private and should not be published online unless you've previously given authorization to do so.

Most do, I would check out your local hospital, or call your local ophthalmologist office.

This would be something to ask your doctor, since he knows your health history and what would be best in your particular case.

i work in a medical records department, so i know the only way to get records is for you to request them. your medical office should have a request of records form or you can request in writing your medical records to be sent to you or your doctor. it depends on what he is treating you for and if it is an ongoing condition. he shouldn't but could stop seeing you while waiting for your records.

American Medical Association.\nInformation about a doctor's training and experience can usually be obtained from the doctor's office, a local medical society (a the doctor is a member), a local hospital (if the doctor is on staff), or an HMO to which the doctor belongs. A few state licensing boards issue information about disciplinary actions, but getting it may be cumbersome. Several online organizations provide easy access to various amounts of information. Internet Health Pilot has a handy listy of the medical and osteopathic licensing board Web sites.\n\nThe American Medical Association's AMA Physician Select provides limited information on the training and certification status of all of the more than 690,000 medical and osteopathic physicians currently licensed in the United States. It does not list disciplinary actions. Searches can be done only one state at a time. This service is free of charge.\n\nThe American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) CertifiedDoctor Verification Service can be used to check whether a doctor is certified by one of the 24 recognized specialty boards. The searches yield no other information. All states can be searched simultaneously. This site is primarily useful for checking the certification status of a doctor whose location is unknown. Registration at the site is required, but this service is free of charge.\n\nHealthGrades maintains a searchable database of medical and osteopathic physicians. Its reports cover education and training; specialties; board certification; disciplinary actions. and several other characteristics. Searching, which costs $7.95 for the first search and $2.95 for each additional search, requires the physician's last name and state of practice. The resultant information includes whether the doctor has been sanctioned within the past few years, but no details are provided. People seeking a new doctor in their own community can get a report that compares up to 20 of them for $9.95. Reports are also available for hospitals and nursing homes.\n\nThe most comprehensive database is ChoiceTrust, which charges $9.95 for a credential history and $19.95 for a one-day pass.\n\nPublic Citizen's Health Research Group, which operates the Questionable Doctors site, has stopped updating its database of disciplinary actions and is no longer accepting new subscribers.\nGovernment Sources\n\nMost states have Web sites with searchable databases, but the amount of information varies considerably from state to state. With respect to disciplinary actions, some provide brief summaries, some provide extensive documentation, and others simply say whether or not a disciplinary action has taken place. A few state boards provide information about malpractice suits and criminal convictions, but research at relevant courthouses is more likely to yield results. Searching Google may also yield such information. Internet Health Pilot provides a convenient list of the medical and osteopathic boards that maintain Web sites.\n\nThe U.S. Office of the Inspector General administers two databanks that collect adverse information about physicians and other healthcare providers. The information is not available to the general public but can be accessed by government agencies, credentialing organizations, and certain other parties.\n\n    * The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB, which began operating in 1990, is intended to hinder the movement of "problem practitioners" from one facility or state to another. Licensing boards are required to report all actions that revoke, suspend, or restrict a license for reasons related to the practitioner's professional competence or conduct. Professional societies must report all professional review actions that adversely affect the membership of a physician or dentist. Hospital administrators must report disciplinary actions that negatively affect a doctor's clinical privileges for more than 30 days and must query the Data Bank w
