Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Harley, I wonder if the doctor confirmed that you were a patient to a caller? Would that not be illegal? I think I would be reporting this doctor to every one that I could possibly report her to. With out continuing your meds until you get a new doctor, that would be endangering your health. If you had cancer and she stopped your chemo treatments or stopped giving you blood when you needed it, she should be sent to jail. If the doctor can't tell whether you are a patient or a drug abuser with no need of pain medication, maybe they need to go back to medical school and should not be endangering the public. If the doctor can not tell me face to face that he believes the treatment (pain medication) is not the treatment he believes in, what are the alternative treatments for your conditions, then he is not really a doctor. doctors are suppose to try and get you well. I for one will tell a doctor up front, that I am an honest person and that he must accept that premise and tell me face to face if that changes. I am coming to him for help. If I am not getting that, then he is gone and I will find someone else. I feel if a doctor did to me what happened to harley, I would be fuming mad and would report her to every official I could including the hospital, clinic and medical board. I may even seek legal advise as it could be a criminal offense, maybe. Don't take crap when your life may depend on. If you can't speak up, your spouse or relative or friend should go with you to make sure you are being treated properly. When on the oxycontin type meds, you may not be able to think quickly so someone with a clear head and common sense can assist you. Good luck and take care of your rights Alvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvin, I agree and there is a complaint form on the state license website and it is illegal for this doctor to do this, he has to follow the Pain laws and Bill of rights. The complaint form does not report your name and I have done this to a previous doctor who misdiagnosed me and I had factual information. I felt that if the doctor did it to me, he would do it to someone else. I keep a pain diary, functional assessment and have a written form of my status every doctor visit so they take me seriously. I feel that I will play their game and beat them at it with documentation and the law. You can only do what you can and others have to chose for themselves.

My pain contract states thirty days. Be sure and check you state laws on Pain, just type in for example, California Pain Patient Law or California Pain Medication Law and there is the Pain Patient Bill of Rights and most Pain Management Doctors belong to the Pain memberships that have procedures. Your pain contract reflects the conditions and please read your next one but you need to call the local hospitals physicians referrals line and also contact your insurance company for referrals. There is a tort law called abandonment of patient care and it can be used when care is not provided. All this doctor needed to do is give a months prescription and doctor listing and he would be covered. Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
