I called letters I would get from my prescriber's office after they died "Dead Donna letters" (not her real name) and would tell my therapist--got another effing Dead Donna letter! She finally said, after the third one, that she thought the office might be trying to avoid a lawsuit. Something about continuity of care. Interesting that no one else I'd seen--prescriber or therapist--ever concerned themselves with continuity or care when they terminated or moved. But let me tell you everyone, no matter your feelings about a person, it's alarming to keep getting letters about their death and the need for you to ACT. (The letters actually had all caps at the top to this affect.)
