You think a f-ing therapist would know the definition of insanity (rated R)
This is a suck doctor story, im not sure if it belongs here, but since im nearly tempted to file malpractice charges against im putting it in sightings because he is sucky! Mods, if you wanna move it go ahead.
ok let me first give you a little bit of back ground information.
This is my father's doctor.
My father is Bi-Polar with an anxiety disorder and for most of my life has been medicated for it, though he wasn't diagnosed when my parents got married. My father is also very verbally (he doesnt curse i just believe this the best word for this), mentally, emotionally, phychologically and physcially abusive. He is also very manipulative. And he has a history of abusing his medication, even if he has someone monitoring it full time, like my mother did before she left him.
Now im not sure about the abuse part but my father's doctor knows all of the above information.
He knows that my father abuses his anxiety medication to the point where he devolpes what you might call a medication induced dementia, where in he has almost no memory, is unable to perform even basic tasks (for him at least) with injury or accident, and where even he has no idea what he is saying. He also loses the ability to defieciante (sp?) between his dreams and reality.
For awhile my father was off an anxiety medication. He would self medicate with sleeping pills, which wouldn't cause any of the above mentioned symptoms with abuse. But he hated it because his shakes wouldn't stop and they would just calm him down a bit, not make him lose his anxiety.
I found out today that he talked his doctor into putting him back on anxiety medication. Personally i don't see to much wrong with this because it was obviouse he need something (less his anxiety became to much and he became suicidal) and if it wheren't for one little thing i would be ok wiht.
The doctor gave him a prescription without much in the way of restrictions. He didn't arrange for his medication to be given to him by a nurse (which he has had done for awhile) until he became use to the prescribition again. Nor did he give him a limited prescribition.
This is a doctor who KNOWS that my father is a pill popper. who KNOWS if given a chance he will take up to 10 pills at a time (all the same kind btw). who KNOWS that he will find away to get away with this if he can. BECAUSE HES DONE IT BEFORE.
In the past he had some kind of monitoring system, through my mother. But my mother left and i live with her. My father lives alone. The doctor knows on my fathers own devices he takes his medical care into his own hands.
Well already hes begon to act erratic and uncontrollable. He has so far to day called us about 20 times, sometimes for the exact same thing because he falls asleep, thinks he only dreamed calling us and calls us again. its obviouse he is getting close to having another episode and of course im the one who is going to fucking have to deal with it, because my mother refuses to, my brother wont deal with unless hes 'normal', my sister hasn't spoken to him in about... two years, and if i dont i can only hope that his bishop notices something is wrong before he gets hurt. So tomorrow when i check in with him, and if he isnt acting more... normal... im going to take his pills (leave him just enough to make through a night and the morning) call his doctor, leave him a message, and then call him again tomorrow and calmly and in a non-cursing maner, rip him a fucking new one, and tell him he needs to monitor his patient better or something is going to happen (like hmm oh i don't know, walking around in only lose fitting jeans and a under shirt, knock over trash cans, get in to red car because its red like his, scare woman who thinks shes gettting car jacked, stumple around aimlessly on a busy commercial street, and get arrested... like last time..) or worst SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET FUCKING HURT!!
Last time i checked, the defenition of insanity was repeating the same action expecting different results... you'd think a shrink would know better......

Sliceanddice, can you call your dad's bishop and have him convince dad to go for treatment?
