Has anyone written their own letter?

I made an appointment to see my PCP today.  I am going to talk about my blood pressure (that has been high for months and not treated.  So I want to get it confirmed before I go to my surgeon consultation!) , and, to get a letter of medical necessity and other paperwork I'll need.  

I'm writing my own letter from a bunch of samples I found, and, I'm going to see if they can put in on their stationary.  

Is that nuts?  Has anyone else done this?

My surgeons office gave me a sample to give to my PCP. I dont have it anymore otherwise I would post it. If I remember it gave info such as my age, height, weight, bmi, co-morbidities and the different weight loss attempts and the doctor stated she felt it was medically necessary for me to have the surgery. Most PCP's are used to writing such letters and should already know what to include. Its pretty simple.

I did that and my PCP was thrilled!! Saved her the time from doing it and she just put it on their letterhead.  I will PM you the letter I wrote.

Hi Michelle,

I would be glad to send it to you.  I can't PM you because your profile is not public or something.  Can you add me as a friend??

I see you are from MI.  where are you having your surgery?  I had my surgery at Hurley, along with all three of my kids!
