Charged because physician asked me a question during my physical

Take a recorder and inform the doctor that you will be recording your session.

I will drop you as my patient. Good luck finding another.

I know times are tough for doctors but scamming patients is a good way to lose clients. I have 5 kids - when their pediatrician tried to charge us extra during covid for a shot, we walked. My kids are sick all the time - for the extra $25 a shot, they lost thousands in business.

Those slots are quickly filled however.

I guess you let your doc know in advance to let you know when something crosses into “pay extra” category

I'm sure the pp will put up a sign on the wall saying the doctor consents to the recording by going ahead with the appointment. Better look around.

Of course, Virginia is a one party consent state, so you don't even need consent. And Maryland's only applies when there's a reasonable expectation of privacy, which wouldn't apply if the doctor is already recording it for notes.

There is a reasonable expectation of privacy in a doctors exam room. Sorry.

My cardiologist records our visits, why can’t a patient?

Then you will lose all your patients your dinosaur. It’s 2025. It’s perfectly normal for patient’s to notify their doctors that they will be using voice recordings in order to refer to later after the appointments. Most patients are stressed at appointments so having a recording helps take the pressure of of remembering doctors instructions.

You can. Just tell them and turn your phone on. If you have an iPhone the voice recordings app translates to text. Or if you’re on the phone, the call recording feature also translates to text.

That’s terrible. It’s never happened to me or my kids and I would be horrified if it didZ

Why is that doctor still your pediatrician? I think medical care can be awful in the USA but honestly haven’t had this happen to me.
