Hi there -
(BTW, I wasn't really expecting any input here - just kind of throwing my first msg out there)...
But Utizopian I will address your comment directly as well as the rather exagerrated examples I provided in last msg.
>>>>>
> Chad,
>
> Doctors are not responsible to disclose side effects of any drug, including antipsychotics.Wrong - by law they are required to warn you of possible movement disorder - this is the law. If you doubt this - call a pharmacist - or better yet call a lawyer who deals in medication induced drug disorders and tell him (lie) that you were not warned that it's dangerous to mix Effexor with Nardil - due to risk of hypertensive crisis -
Dude if you don't buy this I don't know what to say to you man ... and all examples previous too and below too...
and ask him on the warning about TD from throazine also. A pharmamist should know but ask a lawyer. Don't ask your psychiatrist though. Ask your general Dr - they will tell you the facts also. Do not ask anyone who has any reason (selfish) to not tell you truth - or who is ignorant on the question you ask.
They are also not responsible for what happens to you after they prescribe a certain drug.really - why is malpractice costs so high in CA that Dr's complain and sometimes leave the state. You bet your ass they are responsible for gross negligence.
>
> This is well established. If it weren't, doctors would be sued all the time.Ahem. insurance can be high - and they really do prefer the safe ssri's (safe in high overdose) - for a reason ...
"This is well established"? Where do you live dude - on Mars? Sorry pal - I can't say it any straighter to you.
It would be thrown out of court before you could even see a judge.
Hmmmm. How would I get in court without seeing the judge. : ) (just kidding pal)
It's not malpractice, and I've already explained this to you.
um. ok. if I say "you're right" will you stop telling me that?
>
> I realize you're concerned, but please also realize trying to sue a doctor for malpractice when you can't is simply a waste of time.Well - actually that statement is technically correct - trying to sue when I can't - that would be a waste of time - agree with you there Ut.
>
> Good luck with battling your SP.Thanks. I've been doing it for most of my life so I guess I might as keep on going eh?
See ya. :) Thanks but please just reply with an actual book to back up your comments (something post 1995 for USA). I understand your opinion - you have a right to it but - well the book won't help because there isn't one to back you up but if you find something then feel free to write me - otherwise frankly I'm very busy with some things right now.
No offense - but your comments are kinda dangerous for people to here - what if somebody out there listens to you and believes you and they got pseudotumor cerebri and also a drunk Dr. cut out their eye by mistake during surgery and they listened to you? I mean few people would do that but still - .. see what I mean - you say dangerous stuff which is why I reply this way.
