Legal Or Illegal (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

My doctor has had me on 1 mg xanax 4 times per day for 15 yrs now and oxycodone 30 mg 4 times a day. I was supposed to see him last Thursday to get my refills but when I called to make the appointment I was told that he quit indefinitely so now I'm going cold turkey without anything...my pharmacist faxed my refill orders several times last week & they told me they couldn't find my medical chart....1st time in 15 yrs my chart got lost & my refills for xanax were never called in to my pharmacy... Can he legally quit on me without informing me here in Arkansas?

There are LOTS of serious "adverse fetch" from drug withdrawal, including seizures and death, stroke, HBP, etc.

I wasn't aware God had resigned and left you his job. Addiction is addiction and how dare you invoke the name of Satan, unless you're calling out to your Master. You're a narcissistic, twisted possibly psychotic fundie who wouldn't recognize the meaning of a Biblical verse that wasn't spoon fed to him in words of one syllable or less, P450 has impressive credentials, as do I... but why bother casting pearls before swine? Tell me how you would treat Xanax addiction? The same Jesus Christ  — and when YOU use His Holy Name, it's blasphemy — created physicians and nurses and people with real intelligence. He doesn't cure dangerous addictions personally — I this he stopped doing flashy miracles about 2,000 years ago myself, but He uses us as tools to do so. My only malpractice is that I type too quickly and I try not to, because I know with drug names and med terminology, this can cause confusion, but not as much as an i****'s saying, "Just keep taking Xanax; you'll be fine." You wouldn't know an angel join Roma Downey bit you in the ankle. And where is your proof that we are on the side of the Adversary? You have none and, as I've read in many versions of the Scripture, "Satan is the father of lies" and specializes in confusion, You seem to fit more on HIS side of the Battle than we do, WE didn't "go after her," you jerk; we tried to point out that she needed help to detox from Xanax and then other medical assistance. We both know how to withdraw pts from benzos. We've done it often enough, Addiction is a DISORDER (NOT A DISEASE - !@ STEP CULT BS IS JUST THAT and they have no followup at all...ever...for NA, AA, CA...how very convenient!) that is characterized by recidivism, denial and self-deception. No competent physician writes for Xanax for teens. It's been too widely abused for years and P450 and I both have had patients prescribed some benozodiazepine, an ADD/AHDHD or other psych drug and didn't like the way it made him feel and called one of us. (I'm pretty sure P450 has the Prescriptive Privilege which means anything I can write for, she can, too.) Usual outcome is to throw out the offending pills, discuss options and write for something else. If you don't WANT pills you don't have to take them...and certainly not for years.

Great name unfortunately not true.

Where did you see either one of us? Nowhere I personally base this name on a P450 test given me due to testing that shows my DNA profile as an ultra rapid metabolizer and clearly I am supporting the pain clients who ask for help and your name what is that name?

Sound familiar and posting from a cell phone.

What really threw me was that this "Recovery Room" looked like Sheltered Workshops I have seen and self-contained Special Education Classrooms for Developmentally Disabled Students, which my friend Rhia (legendary principal of the year for the whole 10 years until she became Superintendent of Schools) showed me as part of an additional to her school. Rhia was originally a Spoecial Educator and she appreciated my consulting pro bono because you wouldn't believe the low quality and meager qualifications of "Psychologists" evaluating these kids. (School Psychologists in my state are licensed only to give tests and interpret them according to the handbook.) I feel that I have been blessed with a wonderful mother who taught me how to give as well as receive and I donated my time. That there were patients who seemed to be recovering from NO procedures doing the same type of Sheltered Workshop tasks mentioned above was the final straw. My surgeon said he never heard more perfect New Testament Latin. "Jason, the most potent weapon against the most powerful Evil is the Power of God. He didn't just listen, he send the NYPD, the FBI and a DA Bureau Chief plus a few senior detectives. Despite the begging and pleading, these cases are going to trial in the Criminal Part. I gave my statement and found experts to thoroughly discredit their "affirmative defense" that I was hallucinating because of ketamine. Also had the Anesthesia Team locked up for Unlawfully Administering a Controlled Substance to a Patient Without His Permission. They made bail, but their careers are over. Their attorneys approached me and I said, "You're engaging in Witness Tampering. Get the f*** away from me or you'll face charges before the Bar and my sister knows a lot more of the Disciplinary Committee than you do and they'll believe me and her, especially because our testimony will be short, sweet and we'll ask for five-year suspensions." I specifically stated I don't like Ketamine I don't want Ketamine and actually said, "Do I have draw you a picture?" Kiss your licenses good-bye, because my "kid sister" who is a mistress of structuring charges to include Felonies made sure each and every arrested hospital employee was also charged – and rumor has it she made DAVance swear to adhere to her motto while in Sex Crimes: "You'll plead to the max and you'll serve the max, not one day less."

Joey, just read your story. Unbelievable it sounds like anesthetic shock, and an adverse reaction. I believe all things are relative to God and His power. I've died two times and crossed over. The first time when the next day comes there are three religious leaders brought to my room. I sure did not call them.

I find after they heard my story (who called them) that I had crossed over. What I realize today is when we return from death we "remember we died" and further people do not realize how short our life on earth is. Because before I died that first night my entire life went before me every action, minute second probably in less than 20 seconds then boom I was gone.

Those I loved were there to greet me. I was so happy to see my father.

Why would we in such supreme and perfect love and resolve think we were dead (we would not) unless we returned to this.

Give me a CITE or THREE that states the patient issues the risk of adverse reactions to addicting drugs. We don't know if she took the meds as ordered or abused them. I have attorney friends who don't read the law that way and they've won cases. It is OUR responsibilty to take additional time to explain the risks of addicting meds and if the doc prescribed to a pt with a hx of abuse — that changes everything. We have the keys to the Narcotic Cabinet as a Charge Nurse once told me, and THAT means we're responsible for what we prescribed and to whom.

Stace, I was confused about the dating, too but P450 has things under control — or so I thought. My professional assessment hasn't changed, but I do apologize for assuming your post was so damned old! Even or especially doctors make mistakes, too. But since I "slapped your wrist," please get yourself some help regarding the Xanax. There are alternate drugs, you need antianxiety meds and I'm NOT going to suggest Apical Antipsycholotics or old-line antipsychotics because long-term use is like making a deal with the devil — and if you've read "The Devil and Daniel Webster," Ol'Scratch always collects WITH INTEREST. (Webster outlawyered him in his instance, though.) Some antidepressants have marked anxiolytic properties and are a lot safer. I can't Ddx or Rx long-distance (it's not only unethical; it's stupid!), but I hope you find a reasonable" psychiatrist who's not afraid to think outside the box. I have a patient who abused Valium for years and got help. I started him on Xanax, but he had a problem with it's being so short acting. He's forget his pills and start having withdrawal symptoms! Since Klonopin also is effective for Panic Disorder w/o Agoraphobia and ha a far longer duration of effect, I changed the med one dose in the morning and one around 10 p.m. No problems and NO hint of abuse or addiction. I don't believe you've forfeited your rights to use this class of drugs for life, but, speaking hypothetically, I'd start with a good, safe antidepressant with antianxiety properties. I've had success prescribing Lexapro, Zoloft, and Paxil as well as the older drug, Elavil. Sorry I was harsh before, but sometimes, hon, we GOTTA be!

Hi, P450 — Had a terrible day today. Still working PRN because of the sequel to that accident, Don't need much oxycodone, though. That's a help. I just found out my Disability Checks had been hijacked on a technicality. Because I shrink submitted and update they consider CHF and Severe Head and Face Trauma, Deg Disc (C7, I think) are part of the same illness. I simply can have my shrink officially withdrawn his letter and state unequivocally that my psychological condition has notinh to do with two very separate accident. I was big good, having him explain how this exacerbated by PTST Panic Attack Disorder w/o Agoraphobia etc. I'm not taking a lot of meds, so I am NOT angry that I'm glad I got those English and Journalism degrees (BA/MA in both areas - Brown 1976). Too f-ing pissed off for words. My back was nice because I've been with them since my first day of college. my sister already called the Fibbies and she's SO pretty and harmless looking hate to use this analogy, but she's like a millennium old vampire who maintained her 30-y/o appearance. (She's 40.) It's all good until she unleashes her incredible vampiric powers. She had a 8=94% conviction rate in Sex Crimes and, as Chief, she took the hardest cases and every team assigned to a tough case included her, even if only as a member, not as "The Boss". (I do the same.) You would have LOVED my Mom and she would have loved you, too. I'm totally sure of that! She, my sister and I fought like ninjas to ensure her cousin, with early onset Alzheimer's to get proper and dignified care. There's a time to flaunt your credentials and this was one of them. "And what are YOU Board-certified in?" How old are you — 12?" It's all theater but a little intimidation and Ivy credentials can do more than rational argumentation sometimes...and that's said. My Cousin Laura write my Mom that Lynda Carter may always be the image of Wonder Woman, but Cousin J IS Wonder Woman. She wrote me a beautiful note and said she knew I put my rep and license on the line a few and she believed me when I said I'd do it again. My sister had a fistful of Federal Appellate Court Orders to keep those bozos in line. I've seen her in action in Court, but fighting for a loved one — I don't think Clarence Darrw could have out argued her (although I am a big biased; that's my kid sister!)

My bro's a cardiologist. I have had open-heart surgery. I ask everybody, even my cat, about chest pain!!

REPLY

Morning Joey there is one such statement that any patient evaluated by a psychiatrist is asked especially if they are visiting due to extreme anxiety.
1. Typically a person in therapy complains of chest pain, sweats and racing heartbeat.
2. If not under medication management a reputable therapist will refer to a psychiatrist and therefore, the patient is asked questions FIRST.

Do you have any addiction history? ETOH? (alcohol abuse)
Street drugs?

Joey is absolutely on the mark--if you answer yes to any of these and are having panic attacks which may or may not be evident from assessment you will not be prescribed Xanax.

I had stated the same thing myself for Stace's post jumps--I saw it on another area of forum and it said 2012 then got blasted by several that it was recent.

Perhaps there are two of the same name do not know but I concur with Dr. J's assessment.

A 19-year old who "didn't want Xanax in the first place." I'm am MD and a PhD on pharmacology. That first degree doesn't stand more "More Dumb". I've been doing this a long time. Diagnostic bs aside, you WANTED that Xanax. I've had patients who did't like the way Xanax or Klonopin or librium made them feel and they threw out the bottle. You stayed on it for HOW MANY YEARS! Cry me a river, why dontcha? Were the docs that scare you because you CAN'T b.s. those with our background and experience. WE almost NEVER rotifer Xanax for 18 or 19 years olds in didn't 15 years ago either. Too addicting because of it;s short acting properties. Good sob story. I haven't read your "DDxs" in detail yet, but wouldn't be surprised if they're fishy to nonexistent.

I was in a bizarre accident in September, broke every bones in my cheeks, dislocated my hip and deliberately forgot the rest. I was at a hospital NOT my own and their shrink tried to play "Can you top this" I had OUR Chiefo f Staff call their Chief of Staff they went med school together — and he said he was sending over a lock of doctor and he waste give them and me full privileges. My sister, a great attorney, used her kid DA;s budget get to the old bastard in charge directly and said she would be back in two hours with a Court order signed by a US Appellate Court Judge who also is a Federal Court 'judge fir the Third District ORDERING HIM TO COMPEL WITH THE REQUEST IN MY SISTER'S MOTION IMMEDIATELY, SINCE ALL ARE ULLY-LICENSED SPECIALTY TRAINED AND WELL REGARDED PHYSICIANS. As for the shrink, I told him not to try to show me he;s smarter than I am. He;s not. I went to better schools and got better grades (Ethel's being a nice guy. A few calls to MY primary hospital we have two huge hospitals, but call the one I have my official office "primary" and gave my other big officiate my Assistant On Site. Without my permission, they added Ketalar to my anesthetic cocktail and I woke up screaming. The "recovery room" looked like a Sheltered Workshop for the Developmentally Disabled and people were engaged in activities and things appropriate to that. The "nurse" in charge wore a cardboard sign around her neck and didn't believe I was an MD., When I asked her three simple questions every RN should know and she could;t answer them, I did. I told her my license # and my NPI #. No dice. I was placed in restraints and, my mind intact, I realized this COULD NOT BE A RECOVERY ROOM. I've been in too many as a pt and a doc. I also know puts died from anesthesia shock and other complications and thought I might have passed...but if so, this was NOT anything near Heaven. Figuring the most potent powerful for for good — that of Our Lord — is the most potent weapon against against Absolute Evil (and this had to be the work of Satan, I reasoned), I started praying, aloud in perfect Latin. (Good memory.) Meanwhile, my sister was calling her friends at th DA;s office and the local precinct to prepare warrants alleging unlawful imprisonment. This NURSE (whom the hospital never seemed to be able to find — I found her — believe it or not the firm rec'd to me was run by former Fibbie who also was a former patient; "For you doc, on the house, You gave me my life back. He wasn't a scheduled patient but had OD'd on gluthetemide — DORIDEN — and my mentor taught me to treat this nasty OD.) The nurse in charge kept telling my sister "I wasn't ready. I was still hallucinating; I was confused." Naturally, I was confused. It's like gin to the Apple Store and finding yourself surrounded my Harry Winston diamonds! I'm not a crazy fundi Christian or crazy fundie Catholic. I don't think every this patient is possessed by a demon. I believe that, on this Earth, God's work should surely be our own and THIS was not Gods work by a longshot! They didn't release my. There were two Fibbies serving the Search Warrant, two NYPS detectives and two DAs investigators, along with a DA Bureau Chief who dated my sister. My own shrink and another did;t know signed off that under the circumstances, my background, training and religious background made my thinking I was in a Satandesigned Hell was quite logical. My shrink was vehement about MY NOT being DELUSIONAL or otherwise nuts. The copes had a huddle. MY sis emerged, nodded to the DA Bureau Chief who was thereto authorize anapest and she said, "Llock her u Kidnapping; Unlawful Imprisonment, Gross Negligence in the Practice of the Profession and anything else we can think up while processing her. This is the big time, sweetie. NO WARNINGS FOR YOU. YOU DOING TIME. Hospital Security physically tried to stop the LEOs from doing their jobs, the FBIM Sspecial Agent in Charge said, "Cuff 'em. You're under arrest for obstructing a federal investigation" I pointed o the two attendants who grabbed my teeshirt and played "keep away" — and these two for carrying out illegal directives (the DA Bureau Chief added another charge or two). And off to the Federal Building, the local precinct, etc. A doctor tried to intervene. The FBI SAC had enough. "You're under arrest for obstruction of the administration of a federal investigation. Hands beinhd your back and we;ll look special for a FELONY so you won't be burdened with this job any longer." I told the group he was an a**hole who added Ketalar (beta,one; Special K) to my anesthesia; The DA Bureau Chief said, "WE'll hold him pending verification of charges of Unlawful Introduction of a Controlled Substance Without the Patient's Consent; Poisoning and whatever else our Doc can come with. Meanwhile, we proceed on Dr Joey's sworn statement to be given.) Sometimes, God really is on our side.

There are the rules and then there's god medicine. Calling the AMA is like asking Nixon if it's cool to break into a office to steal the secrets you need! You should have checked with the Idaho Medical Association and found out what their "Enforcement Arm" is. The NY, it's the Office of Professional Conduct of The State Board of Medicine. That means they can suspend or revoke licenses, etc. My knowledge of orthopedics and rheumatology are a bit limited, but I read enough to know that you need for opiates in legit, bro. I have a colleague on Remicaid and I called to wish her Happy Holidays (Roni's Jewish and a teacher; her husband's a shrink at Bellevue. We both love to read; I have an BA/MA in English and we asked him to het us adjoining rooms when we finally go nuts from our jobs. She takes Remiacid and I said that dose sounded pretty lotto me. She's a smart girl, a doctor's wife, a REAL MA holder (no master's in English Ed ir other b.s.) and knows what she's taking) Some of us, I truly believe, are put this Earth with special talents or greater intelligence, but "to whom much much is given, much is expected. I lucked out. Mom had a PhD with High Honors and more awards than we ever could find places for — thank God she had a big office as Supt of Schools. My Dad was a successful businessman. There's money in the family. I was smart enough to fly through school and get accepted to my only three choice of med school. (Most kids applied to 20). I found I had a talent for listening, a crack memory and was able to put all the pieces together and come up with a plan that works" — thats called synthesis. I learned that when I got my PhD in pharmacology.

Now, your meds schedule was a little peculiar, but no beyond what I'd consider the normal limit of opiate therapy for your condition. I had SEVERE migraine-type headaches for seven years. My mentor, my best professional bud (and my shrink) and I all with advanced training is psychopharmacology, tried to figure out what to do that would work. We did and redid every neural scan available. I had blood diagnostics I can't even pronounce. Nothing worked by Percocet 10/325 - 2 or 3 q4-6h prn pain and brand name Valium; sometimes Thorazine 25mg for nausea. (Decxtrostat - dextraoamphetmine) 10mg PRN kept me on my feel to do my work). I know what it's like to wake up with pain and go to sleep with it. I used Dilaudid 2-4mg fro breakthrough and usually generic Seconal (gr iii) for sleep. Definitely file a complaint. Your doc ANNOT drop you without providing enough medication for one month and providing you with referrals. I don't care what pseudo-health professional tells you what, bro; I'd bet the rent money that this is written into Admin Law or the laws of your state. This really sucks. I'd NEVER know anyone, even "shady" docs do this, but I don't know any REALLY shady (make up histories, sell scripts, etc.) docs. I wouldn't want to; they tar our whole professional with the same brush. FIRST STOP: Law Clinic, probably at a major university with a law school, to get your options. (I mean no disrespect), but I've treated guys like you — usually at no charge — because the consequences of being out of work don't lend themselves to paying my $385/session fees (that figure is for my affluent patients actually, and I was left a bunch of them by my mentor, who finally retired about 52 years of practice). See what they have to say. I"m SURE there are violations here and that;s everagem my friend My baby sister represented a patient if mine against another doc and, bearing in mind that she's a former Chief Sex Crimes Prosecutor and is young, pretty and harmless-looking, ripped this drug-pushing a---e to shred and his licensed was revoked, he was fined $10K and he was locked up by the Fibbies on the way out the door. She didn't charge this girl either Same sit, basically as yours. Good luck and good speed!
