Best to talk : Your doctor is almost certainly not mad at you. But doctors need to be careful about patients who see more than one doctor. Especially with pain meds, multiple prescriptions can lead to dangerous or fatal overdoses. Have a face-to-face meeting with your doctor to clear the air and get your meds and treatment plan straight. You'll both be glad you did.

Honest is always: Best. Without knowing any specifics, i can still suggest that honestly is the best course. Perhaps instead of writing a letter, you could schedule a followup office visit to discuss these challenges or misunderstandings so that your care isn't impacted.
