Q: Can a pain clinic turn you away for an appointment if you have covid and not renew your pain medication prescriptions?
The clinic wouldn't let my dad in the building because he had covid, when asked if they could come out to the vehicle to see him they said no. He was out of meds is the reason he went and had a scheduled appointment that day. The clinic told him to come back in four days and they would see him if he didn't still have covid. It's an hour drive one way and he is a disabled veteran, hard on him to travel.
