I think I suffered a 2nd concussion after being hit by a truck. I went to my pain mgmt dr crying uncontrollably and angry. He accused me of being angry because he would not give me more pain meds. I have GERD and he told me to try celebrex,and antagonized me until. I walked out.I went to the ER 2 days later with increased headache and pain,and was told that I did not have a concussion because I didn t lose consciousness. I have had symptoms since Dec 17. I have a neuros appt Jan 16. Neither dr performed any tests. I told 1st DR I felt suicidal due to uncontrolled pain. He gave me 63a Valiums and dismissed me from the practice. What is the protocol for suicidal patients? What can I do legally for the lack of treatment and professionalism??
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Suicide is an emergency and prescribing Valium to a suicidal patient is a big crime. It can increase the chances of suicide being successful. You can approach the court for this injustice in a consumer forum and claim for the compensation. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
