If i get a Medical Marijuana card, does my Physician see it?!


Question: If i get a Medical Marijuana card, does my Physician see it?
I am 18 years old and im very paranoid about my normal doctor finding out that i got a medical marijuana card. I know that doctors can not tell anyone about my medical history, including my parents, but my situation is a little different. I actually still go to a pediatrician, its closer, and she knows me so i get an appointment pretty much as soon as i want. The problem is that my mom is also a doctor, and occasionally her and my doctor talk to each other (about once a month). I'm afraid that if i get a medical marijuana card my doctor will be able to see that i got one, and if she does, then I'm afraid that she will tell my mom "off the record".

So bottom line, can my regular doctor see that i got a medical marijuana card?

No!
With this type of paranoia I'd say stay away! A Dr. can not tell if a person is registered with the State for a card. Ask Mom to explain what Dr.'s can share. Nope neither can check if another Dr. signed a form for MMJ.

I wouldn't worry too much, honestly. The Dr. knows better. Even if she were to find out by getting updated info on your records (which isn't likely to happen since you got the card outside her practice - different practices don't share info on patients) she still couldn't tell Dr. Mommy (even off the record) because you're an adult and legally responsible for yourself. If she did, and you WOULD find out if she did because being a Dr, your mom would flip out and kill you lol, one call from you to the AMA complaints line and your Dr won't be a Dr anymore, so she won't tell your mom. Like I said though, that's even if she finds out in the first place. If you went to an outside practice to get your pot card, your information won't transfer back to her because medical information is confidential facility to facility, unless it's all one HMO (like Blue Cross to Blue Cross or Kaiser Permanente to Kaiser Permanente, etc.) Hope this helps. Good luck.
