Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Posted August 7, 2006 I have a patient who has out of control HTN, Lipids, and non-infectious hepatitis, who does not come back for f/u, is threatening (I could sue you), bullying, etc for the past 6 months. He lives half the year in Az and the other half in Michigan. He want his medicine, with no f/u labs and has accused me of single handedly increasing overall health costs. His wife and son are also patients and are great. She has called me, and is concerned that he refuses to see a MD in Michigan, and that he is drinking more. My messages are unanswered. I have already told him 3 months ago he needs to see an endocrinologist because of his HTN, lipids and liver issues. So do I discharge him (I’ve never done this before). And what do I say?
