Too many drugs

Posted by Peace on October 20, 1999, at 3:22:27

Just came out of four day hospital stay with an array of different medicines. My doctor is an idiot and won't take time out of his busy schedule to explain things to me. I am wondering if anyone knows about Cipram and Plasil, He also has me on Revia , Mellaril, Catapres, Fluanxol, Neurotop, and finally Brufen all at the same time. Is this legal? If anyone wants to crack this, it would be dreadfully appreciated.

Fire him.

(If you can, that is).
Go talk to your pharmacist. Unless you want hordes of impatient people standing in line to throttle you, go when the pharmacy shouldn't be that busy.

When I was in the hospital for 4 days many many years ago, I felt the same about the MDs there. I barely saw the doctor yet he was the one calling all the shots in my treatment. In contrast, when I got out of the hospital, I found a doc through my therapist who took the time to explain things to me. What a difference. I felt he talked to me like one human being to another, whearas at the hospital the hierarcy was rigid--MDs, nurses, psychtechs, patients. Very dehumanizing and dignity-robbing experience.
