Is under-treatment of pain basis for malpractic e?
      08/27/03 04:25 PM

Here is an interesting thought. If you have documented, legitimate pain and a doctor knowingly either gives you a drug that won't likely work or under-prescribes pain killers, does that doctor commit mal-practice?

I know that there is a war going on now between the DEA and doctors who prescribe pain killers and tranquilizers. The DEA watches to make sure that the doctor does not over-prescribe which leaves the doctor in a dilemma. Should they under-prescribe or prescribe worthless drugs that MAY help and are not controlled but probably won't work. Or do they risk DEA notice and adequately prescribe what they know will work in appropriate amounts.

Of course people who have a painful, chronic , documented condition should be made comfortable with the medications available even if they are addicting. It's a shame that the drugs that work are addicting but that's the Catch 22.

I think at some point, there will be lawsuits charging that a doctor knowingly didn't prescribe because he/she was in fear of losing their licence.

I am not anti doctor-I AM anti DEA. They have no business putting both doctors and patients who already have enough to worry about under DEA's questionable practices.
