It's nice to hear facts instead of conjecture, especially when the conjecture is harmful and inappropriate.Simple Citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100369477704457506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-80145111272047538042012-08-03T11:44:40.598-04:002012-08-03T11:44:40.598-04:00Re your comment on CPN about psychs or any docs wr...Re your comment on CPN about psychs or any docs writing prescriptions for self and others who are not patients, I can see why this is a problem. It is not hard to go through proper channels to get a few tabs of Xanax for a flight or to get through a life crisis. I am not a doc but I do know what dose of what pill I take to get through a bad spot and hey, I could call it in myself but it is against the law. There are certain emergency exceptions when I can see it being less wrong to write a prescription for a family member or friend but only when no other doc is available. I have waited in after hours clinics and ERs with kids or self to access a medication that was required (not a painkiller or an anxiolytic). It would have been easier to call a doctor friend. I also had one very bad experience of a psych who called in a prescription for me. His idea, not mine. I was very ill. He thought he was being helpful. Unfortunately, he had not read up on the latest medical reports regarding contraindications. I had a major contra and ended up in worse shape. I had another experience of being offered pain meds for a migraine by a doctor friend who was not quite close enough of a friend to know that I take a bunch of stuff that would potentially interact badly with what was offered and that I am prone to hoarding meds in case the need to commit suicide presents itself.I accepted the offer with no intention of using them to alleviate the migraine.<br />I don't think that bringing up Fenton's lack of judgement in the past is irrelevant although it is not directly related to this case. I also don't think that such a high percentage of shrinks, or any percentage, should be prescribing to people who are not their patients.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-50200482999836519812012-08-03T10:20:41.206-04:002012-08-03T10:20:41.206-04:00Especially precious was the day-one reporting on F...Especially precious was the day-one reporting on Fenton that noted a woman in the Denver area of the same name offered acupuncture for various conditions including erectile dysfunction.rob lindemanhttp://natickpediatrics.netnoreply@blogger.com
