I have changed doctors because the first one would not prescribe Afrezza to anyone. The second doctor thinks Afrezza is like any other
injected insulin. I need help finding a doctor in the Portland Oregon area that has prescribed Afrezza. PLEASE HELP11

Then tell them you are going to report them to your States Medical Board. It's up to them to be updated on APPROVED drugs. Also, show them Afrezzauser on Youtube. Take them to the website. I'm guessing if you are asking them and they are doing no follow-up they aren't going to learn. It's your right to have FDA approved drugs to treat the disease.

Is Brian Sharp in Portland? Otherwise I would call the Afrezza-Sanofi Coach hotline and they can tell you who in Portland would prescribe it.

That seems unfair to the doctors. Why should they be reported if their professional opinion- however static it is- differs from a patient's opinion? The patients have the right to change doctors but it seems like an unfair burden on doctors to absolutely be abreast with the current state of the art. This is unnecessary antagonizing IMO. I am invested in MNKD but I would definitely want success based on unbiased professional backing. Not due to shareholder induced prescriptions. Correct me if I'm misreading your intent. |

I would just stick to twitter shaming them for being uneducated buffoons and not keeping up with the latest and greatest diabetes meds!  |

I think you should abstain from reporting or shaming anybody in Twitter or anywhere else. Your energy will be best spend looking for a doctor that will write you a RX for Afrezza. As others have suggested contacting Brian Sharp would be a good idea. He seems like a great guy and very easy going and I am sure he will have suggestions for you. Alternatively you can call Sanofi and asked them directly because ultimately they have to know of a doctor on your area that will be willing to prescribe Afrezza. |

Not only are you absolutely right, _neil, pulling a threat like that will mean those docs won't want to come within a mile of you, even if they do finally come around. Take the high road, frumenti, you know, like we always do on this board! But if anyone ever needs a wolverine on their side, seems like gamblerjag would be a good place to start!  |
