> I think you definitely should consider sueing the doctors and hospital who took you off methadone cold turkey. That`s like operating on someone without anesthesia.
I have to make a formal signed request for my records to find out how much buprenorphine they gave me (after taking me off the methadone), and how everything is documented. I also need to consider how other psychiatrists will act toward me if I sue, if it becomes public. Since I am now taking buprenorphine, I don't want doctors to be worried about giving it to me because I might sue. So the decision whether or not to sue has to be well thought out, and I believe I have at least a year; actually I think I have three years to bring a case against that doctor.
