I have seen another T, supposedly paid for due to DV, but like I said, the cops made no reports so my claim was denied. I had to stop.

I guess it may sound like finger pointing. That's not what I really mean. The doctor is not a shrink so does not know what she is doing, has a long history of this, and did not inform him of what the med is, the side effects, etc.

I'm not saying he is a victim in the sense that he didn't cause the accident. I'm saying he is a victim of malpractice. At his age, things need to be gone over more carefully, explained, and checked against all the other meds. This doctor did nothing like that.

It is an anti-depressant so not a typical sleep med. And it is brand new to him so I don't think there was any way for him to know how it would affect him. That is a doctor's job, not a patient's.

He does not have a shrink who knows about these things and is careful to prescribe the right meds in the right doses, explain the side effects, make sure it doesn't interact with other things, all the stuff a P-doc would normally do.

Age plays a factor. I don't think it's okay to take advantage of an old man, charge him so much for such bad care. There is decline even in the healthiest people. In his case, the decline has increased fast since he had a blood clot that almost killed him and may have affected his brain. That is why I asked for an MRI or whatever test to see if his brain was affected. The fancy doc said she'd do it but never did.
