I went in to the same type of Doctor recently and was in a great deal of pain. This Doctor had performed my last colonoscopy. While filling out the forms that seem to be required every time you visit the Doctor even if you have seen them before I was asked for my Driver's License so that they could make a copy. I had just completed the forms that included my SS#, DOB, etc. Now they wanted this photo copy. I had to threaten to leave the office before the receptionis relented and made the photo copy in front of me and proceded to crop the black and white picture out to attach to the file and let me keep the rest of the photo copy. I suggested that perhaps they could inform the patients that they need a picture rather than insisting on making a photo copy of such a sesnitive document. Of course I was I was the first person to have grief with this. I think being an IT profesional may have something to do with our sensitivety level with this sort of thing.
