sometimes i wonder if the patient wants us to "mother" them. i wonder this because of the number of patients that come in and won't swallow pills, let you insert ng tubes, foleys, allow blood work,...
well said. i myself have a problem with the md's that say "they are seekers (the well known ones) and we have to give them what they want or they will sue..." and then that same doc medicates a male...
where i work it varies. we usually don't give refills so some write out "zero" so "0" can't be changed. i have also seen only some write out in letters the number of pills. if i were the md (and am...

well, i guess i'm just a bratt! unless there is some medical condition or the pt is just crazy (and i mean that in the nicest way) there is no reason why they can't take a pill. if they say please...
could it be that maybe the pain is getting better but the pt likes the way the narc makes them feel? the more they use it the more they need to use to feel as good. let's face it. a person who...
