[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639060, member: 1550"] Bah. My first couple jobs ever (and this was thirty years ago) were newspapers and hospitals. I worked at three hospitals in a row for a span of about twelve years and doctors were always arrogant. You should have heard the stories from the nurses, aides, and even housekeepers.Yes, THOSE stories. The pinching, the propositioning, even the sex that took place on the hospital premises and those women who felt under pressure to comply. I hope it isn't like that today. I really do. I remember standing by the elevator once where two doctors, slightinly in front of me, were talking to one another. One was cracking some sort of joke that I couldn't hear, but I heard the words, "...and other fellow Gods..." and the other doctor laughed. I don't think there was a time since physicians made house calls that being a doctor didn't thrust many of them into major arrogance. Having said that, the thing about the fear of prescribing certain medications is because so many people abuse prescription drugs. I take Clonazapan, which is considered a controlled substance, and even though I've taken it since forever and the pharmcists know I don't abuse drugs, they have to see my driver's license before I can pick up that script. Many over the counter drugs are now behind the counter too, because THEY are abused. We can thank our drug abusers in this world for making pharmacists and doctors VERY nervous...not to mention the lgal system which probably has many richer clients saying that it is the doctor's fault somebody is addicted and overdosed. I feel badly for you. I have my nurse practitioner prescribe my psychiatric medications because I've taken them for decades and they are'n't going to change and she is willing to do that. Do you think your primary would prescribe your medication so you can get some relief and not suffer while you figure out who you can go to who will continue your treatment long term? [/QUOTE]
