When I moved to Florida I had no idea that I would be facing a crisis in my medical care. My new doctor that I have chosen with a specialty in neurology has taken me off 2 of my meds due to his idea of them being contradictory to each other. However, I could chose to not go to this particular doctor. We have to come to agreement that we both can live with in his treatment of my illnesses.
I take Desoxyn for my ADD and have been on this medication for almost 2 years. I cannot believe he just took me off from it, like that. He also took me off of my anti-anxiety medication Valium because he says that it contradicts the ADD meds.
I didn't like what he did. He didn't seem to care or listen to me when I explained that I have been on this regiment for several years, but these particular drugs I have been on for less than 2 years. I also only take my anti-anxiety medication as needed and don't take it every day.
When I see him next month I am going to express my displeasure with his treatment, however I am fearful that he will tell me once again that if I don't like his way of doing things that I can find another doctor. That put me off right away. But what about my rights as a patient? I should look into malpractice with his firm because it is his name on the door and I shouldn't feel like I should just submit to his will. This is my life and my medical care that we are speaking of. He is now my treating doctor and he has to listen to me and my voiced concerns. If he doesn't in this next meeting which will be my 2nd meeting then I will have to do something about it - possibly look into medical malpractice or some sort of disability malpractice. I should find out about my rights because one shouldn't just back down and say well I just will choose another doctor, cuz I cannot see that by eliminating my medications how that will help me.
