that said, "No Demoral."
Pardon my language, but, "No sh*t."
That's all he had to offer. It's up to the anesthesiologist, he said. I can understand that from a professional boundaries issue, and that he doesn't want anything on his behind when it's another doctor who will be administering a new med, and thus up to the new doc to manage the interactions. Still, wouldn't anyone expect a pdoc to be more knowledgeable about an MAOI, and at the very least, offer to consult? I said I wanted to sign a consent for release of information so that he'd have it in place if needed, and he didn't even seem to think that was necessary. He just wants me to let him know what the other doc says, and if I need to be off the Nardil, then he'd of course deal with that with me.
Bah. Mostly, all I want to know is what to expect as much as anyone can. Is that so much to ask?
