I dont think there is a legal position here that would be able to do anything. Although, if they are in breech of their own contracts that might be the only thing that you can go with. They usually give you something that you have to sign that is basically their rules, how things are run in their clinic. The ones that I have been to which is only two but they had a list of rules that I had to sign. If there is nothing in those rules about the situation that you are in and they still refused you medication then wouldnt that be a breech of contract? Medical Negligence? I mean these people are basically nothing but brilliant con artists from what I have seen, they say one thing but when it comes down to it their motive is always something else.
The only leg that I think that you might have to stand on would be if they broke their own rules and this could be classified as medical negligence. I wish that we had some of the doctors in our area that some of the others have posted about, the doctors around here could give a shit less if you are in withdrawals, if you have enough to get you through a move whatever the case may be.
The doctor that I see now told me well if this new treatment comes through, the under skin thing you only have to come in once every six months. Well there is no law that says that you cant get refills of suboxone so why couldnt you do that for me now? He says that he wants to see you once a month to see how things are going……
Its ridiculous how doctors can treat people and get away with it because they think that they have the best lawyers around and they make so much damn money off us, hell they can buy people off. IF you do get a lawyer to sue them and there is a case found, please stick it to them as hard as possible. Drain them dry, it serves them right for doing this to you. If it had been my mother, she would have threatened to their face of getting a lawyer but shes just crazy that way. She thinks if she does that, it will get something done.Most of the time it just pisses people off more and they wont fool with you.
This just sounds to me like medical negligence. You called them and said that your life was basically in danger of yourself, around here by law they are required to call the ambulance and have them come and take you to the ER. If they get out here and you refuse to go or whatever,then they have every right to stop treatment. Report this to your newstations around as well. I find that if you get the word of mouth out there about the way this doctor is treating people, it might hurt the pocketbook that way some. Never really know….
My mother in law threatened to just get up and walk off and not tell anyone where she was going, we called the hospital because she has mental problems. We told them what was going on and they said, well we can try to come out and get her. The only way that we can force her to go is if she has tried to commit suicide or if she is hurting herself or someone else. If we get there and she is basically just walking down the street, there is nothing that can be done.
I really hope that you get something done here no matter what it might be. If its getting another doctor and getting your medication or if its sticking it to them. Just keep us informed, I would like to see how all of this pans out.
