What do I do if my medical provider won't take the advice of the orthopedic surgeon who recommended a p3 for both shoulders and one ankle?

My provider only put a p3 for one shoulder only. When it was recommended for 3 P3's. Things are moving pretty fast and I dont want to get screwed. What process should I take. With this codvid19 it's tough to get seen.

You're not understanding the purpose of the P3. The purpose is to refer you to a MEB, you don't need three referrals to MEB. The VA and IDES doesn't rate how many 3's you have, it will rate all your conditions.

What are you looking to get out of a p3 for the other shoulder? One should be enough to prevent any pushup event. If you need something emergent, you can always go to the ER complaining of pain. If none-emergent, wait until you can see your provider again.
