Totally unprofessional. I finally had the chance to set up my DNR and MOLST forms and was initially told that I could just set up an office visit without doing anything medical. I also called and spoke to Dr. K's nurse prior to the visit, who incorrectly claimed the MOLST is for terminally ill patients, despite the state site and the Attorney General site about this form stating that anybody can fill it out. At the visit Dr K repeatedly tried to get me to do a new patient visit and physical, despite me refusing both, and I have since found out from my insurance company that I CAN do JUST an office visit without a new patient visit, despite the Nurse Manager lying by saying they have no way of billing an Office Visit ONLY for paperwork! Dr. K also argued that I was too young to fill out a DNR and MOLST, and stated that SHE would want everything done if SHE coded- obviously she thinks her personal values give her the authority to go over state laws. She also expected me to give a full dissertation on both forms before she would agree to sign either, stating it is for "informed consent" despite that I already got enough of that from the state and AG sites. She then simply left the room without ever even going over the forms anyway and it was only when I spoke to the Nurse Manager that Dr K signed, but I am going elsewhere for care since this place believes it can coerce patients into care they don't want and can violate laws and patient rights. They also never even gave me their updated new patient form before this visit anyway, which is just as well since it now has extremely unscientific and unnecessary questions about gender assigned at birth and other gender garbage that the office at my upcoming new provider does not ask, so they have no excuses for not following science, where sex is based in chromosomes.
