Talking Physicians

I don't believe it is illegal, unethical???? maybe. I

DO know that it goes on more than you would believe. I

have friends that are good MD's that I have had admit

that if someone questionable came in during their

shift in the emergency room, they gave a tiny dose of

narcotic with a lot of Phenergan or Vistaril so it

burns and the patient knows it's not a placebo. It

usually makes the patient sleepy for a little while as

well. For the MD, it gets the problem off their shift

and coming back on someone else's tour of duty.

As you become more complicated (some might say

problematic) only the best MD's will take their time

and 'deal with it.' Those MD's are good as gold and

what I wish each of us could find.

Just my opinion ; )
