[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 679432, member: 18958"] Up until this point, I believe she acted reasonably. I would be careful too with the abuse potential of Adderall, especially with an untreated mood disorder. Even here, she is still on track. It is her job and her responsibility to account for all medications, legal and otherwise that her patient may be consuming. She would be responsible, legally and ethically if her patient died or become ill from duplicative medications that were prescribed. Anna Nicole Smith, whose psychiatrist and physician were charged as responsible for her death, is an example of somebody made vulnerable by her caregivers. Now, this is absolutely beyond the pale. She could responsibly request that he leave but she can never ethically declare she will never work with him. By her own diagnosis, he is mentally ill. She is responsible for his treatment as long as she is his provider, of record. To behave punitively as she did is without defense. I would think of submitting a complaint to her licensing board in your state. This too is horrible. Blaming the patient, and attacking the mother. Deliberately and cruelly trying to hurt and disarm you. I admire that your son left. Cut your losses. Report her if you feel that this might protect other patients. I think your son handled this well. I would explain to him that she overreacted and that he handled it well to the extent that he left, and advocated for himself. With your son, I would not talk about it again, unless he wants to. That he has such a good relationship with the psychologist will likely insulate him from any lasting effect of the PNP's misbehavior. As long as you do not build it up and are able to let it go. Unfortunately having a profession does not guarantee good or ethical behavior. I am sorry this happened to him and to you. COPA [/QUOTE]
