It is criminal what these agency's have done to Dr. Fox's patients. Consider his case load of over 2000 patients. Maybe some of those were drug-seeking addicts, but surely not most. What happens to these people who are in severe, chronic pain? We are not able to get our medical records because nobody answers the phone, or comes to the door. You have to have your records before another doctornwill see you, and even then, the earliest appointment I could find is mid-July. Patients were not told of the doctor's suspension, so many discovered it only when the tried tio fill a dated prescription.

No meds, no medical records, no alternate doctor. Lots of pain. Lots.

Thanks, Priority Partners, DHMH, and Maryland Board of Physicians. In stopping a Doctor from prescribing for a few bad patients, you have effectively kicked the rest of us to the curb with no help at all.

I thought your jobs were to HELP citizens get access to healthcare???

Filing Suite is exactly what needs to be done. The state clearly acted in gross negligence and endangered the very body of citizens it was meant to protect. A class action is clearly called for here. We need to get a list of victims, speak to an attorney and get this going. The insurance company, the State and, as much as I love him, Doc Fox all need to be named. Fox should have been on the phone immediately finding doctors to take his patients. We have all suffered tremendously with pain and with draw from the very people employed to help us. I'M IN!!!! Lets advertise in the paper for participants in the suite and lets get it going.

i def agree what they did and how they went about it was wrong and im sorry but dr fox was always a very thorough doctor when i saw him and he took a very good amount of time to see each of
us so what they are saying is simply untrue and yes there are addicts that take advantage of everyone and it is not fair to treat a doctor in the manner they did they shoul have spoken to him and took some time to realy see how he works with his patients and they should be locking the addicts up for missuse of their meds or atleast send their names and id pictures to all other doctors and pharmicies to prevent them from doctor hopping.if u post how to get ahold of you or if you have contacted a Lawyer Pleas Post this info and i will also join a lawsuit againt priority partners and i know of others that will also thanks !!!

dr's dont like to give narcotics to patients. many think your drug seeking, which is so wrong. alot of people really are in pain and need the pain meds. i dont feel anyone should limit a dr when he tries to help a patient in pain.alot of drs are getting in alot of trouble giving out narcotics, and yet that is whats needed to ease a patients pain.he should be allowed to make that decision, as he is the one treating his patients.

I am also a former Dr. Fox patient and have spent over $10,000 of my own money (and we are very poor to start with) trying to maintain my level of treatment Dr. Fox provided for serious work-related injuries. I have to now drive ACROSS THE BAY BRIDGE from Berlin to obtain medical treatment. I have had it with this and have began calling attorneys and writing them. I think we do need a class-action lawsuit against the doctor, as good as a man as he is, to recover our losses. Please form a facebook page called "Former Patients of Dr. Fox" to create a virtual meeting place and time so that we can discuss how to recover our losses and move forward.

Libra

You have a tremendous amount of nervous energy today and you need to find positive ways of expressing it, otherwise it could make you rather irritable and restless. Ideally, you should do something physical, such as going for a brisk walk, cleaning the house while working up a sweat or getting your money's worth out of the gym. Don't take out your frustrations on people who don't deserve them.
