> Frankly - you are lucky to be alive it sounds like! There is a Dr. Gerner - whose former partner - well .... she had a patient who *died* due to overprescription of meds... true story and can search "robert gerner ucla lawsuit" to read about. Mr. Gerner is pictured on the stand - poker faced just as I viewed him in our personal sessions shortly after his zyprexa and rapid updosing of Nardil gave me chronic tardive movements .... well ... he did not actually *discuss* if with me afterword - but we did manage to discuss some things he was interested in ...
> Anyway - check it out - it is there... he is kinda old and skinny - but a good Dr. Good lucking enough to get a trial of his own for sex with a patient also published on the Net!!!> Ps: I want to be sure this post relays important med info - and it will - Gerner told me on day 1 that Zyprexa is "good for tardive ANYTHING" - and so well - there you go ! If you trust this Gerner I suggest a consult! He has openings!

> ChadChad,
There will always be a few bad doctors out there, but try to keep a balanced perspective.
The majority of doctors are good, ethical, capable, and sincerely interested in the wellbeing
of the patient. Patients have as much reponsibility for their medical care as their doctor.
The potential hazards of my medications has been spelled out very clearly by
all my doctors. Each time I have moved my new Pdoc has required me to sign an informed consent
and release of liability prior to writing prescriptions for the combination and dosages of medications
I require. I consider that fair, very conducive to unrestrained rigorous attempts to maintiain my
ability to function, and necessary in our current "nothing is my fault" and "law-suit at the drop of hat"
culture. I am forever indebted to the late Dr. Hugh MacNamee of the Dartmouth Hichcock Medical Center
(actually at the time Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and the Dartmouth Medical School were separate entities)
for having the courage back in 1970 to try combining Ritalin with Nardil, which was at the time considered
a lethal combination. That combination gave me back my life at a time I have given up hope.Timidly
