[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 376353, member: 1233"] Sending LOTS of hugs. I have little advice for most of this but a whole ton of hugs. For the friend with the pain issues, he does have some rights to continuation of care. In our country patients have rights also. Of course the medications depend on the diagnosis. If the doctor removed the pain medications he may be able to find another pain doctor. If it is insurance they may expect his reaction and try to outwait any appeal he files. It is still worth trying to get him to file an appeal. If nothing else and the pain is horrific (I really DO understand - have my own pain issues) then he should go to a regular hospital for treatment for the pain and NOT NOT NOT let them see the depression if it is possible to hide it. They should be able to get him on an appropriate plan and to get him set up with a doctor for care outside the hospital. IF they think he is suicidal he will not get that with-o some psychiatric treatment (not always a bad idea - if you are in horrible pain and you are not somewhat depressed by it you are crazy, in my humble opinion) (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
