Today, I learned that my doctor lost all of my immunization records. I can't start law school without them. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found that my medical school has lost its WFME (World Federation for Medical Education) accreditation and my certificate (that I should be obtaining in two years) will be worthless. To pour salt into the wound, I have finals next week and it's hard to stay motivated after this kind of news. FML
Today, after 3 months of job hunting, I finally got a job. But now my birth certificate and social security card are somehow lost, and I can't start until I let them see a copy. FML
Today, I went to pick up a prescription and the pharmacist asked for my date of birth. I gave it, then realized I had given her my dog's date of birth. I know it because it's written on his vaccination card. I had nothing else prepared. FML
Today, it's been several weeks, I went to the doctor for an ear infection and I still don't feel too good. It was then that I realized the doctor forgot to prescribe me medication for said infection. That explains a few things. FML
Today, I received a letter from the doctor's office saying that I'd missed an appointment and could be dropped as a patient if I missed another. My mom scheduled the appointment for me without my knowledge, and never told me that I had one. I also can't make it to any appointments right now, because my car broke down. FML
Today, I found out that the insurance that my husband signed us up with for next year doesn't cover any of our doctors. Now we need to find 4 different doctors who take our insurance. FML
Today, while filling out some medical forms, I was asked for an emergency contact. I realized I didn't have anyone who would actually care enough to be my contact. FML
Today, I arrived at the doctor's to schedule surgery to find out my insurance got canceled again. I only just got it reinstated after the last time they screwed up and canceled it. It took me 6 months to get it fixed. FML
Today, my step-son broke his glasses. Our doctor said he would no longer see us because my step-son is transgender, and a new law in our state allows him to do this. Apparently, it was foolish to be honest on medical forms. Finals are in a month but we have to find a new doctor before he can even study. FML
Today, my doctor's office called to reschedule. I hate sacrificing work time at all, but I have to have my contraceptive. The appointment had been set back once already due to insurance issues, and having to wait until November means I'm going to run out… so now I sound like a drug addict. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I wonder if you can sue him? I guess now you'll never know.

You should have him order the blood work that tests what you are still immune to. From there, you will know what shots you need to get again, whether it be a booster, or because you are no longer immune. I guess it works differently in the states because in Canada, you keep a copy of your own immunization record on a yellow card (that works from birth to adulthood).

That happened to me in high school when I moved countries. My parents lost my records so I ended up having to retake all the shots. It wasn't so bad though, I got to get out of classes and I got a lot of lollipops. Then about a week after the last shot, my parents found my records. They laughed....I didn't.

You do realize as a future lawyer of America... That you don't have to be vaccinated? It is against the law to require such things, why? Bc vaccines are considered a surgical procedure bc it breaks skin and enters directly into your bloodstream (which btw isn't how your body's immune system would normally handle a disease) and it's against the law to require a surgery of any kind to anyone!

to be a nurse you HAVE to have the immunizations for loads of things, including tetanus, diphtheria, polio, TB, hepatitis B so yeah you can be required to have them, it isn't against the law

Your high school should have a copy in your school file.

Mine were lost when I changed doctors. All you have to do is get a blood test and they can see any vaccines that you had. Bada-bing bada-boom.

That's exactly what I was thinking

I needed proof of having shit loads of injections and had to be given three hep b injections to start nursing, if you can't prove you've had them they'll just do blood tests etc to check if you're immune or not
