Doctor perscribed antibiotics he feels are not necessary before seeing patient. Is this medical malpractice?
My father is in a rehabilitation center after his stroke. He had a trach put in, and recently, we (the family) began to notice a bad odor when he coughs, blood in his saliva. After this reference to a nurse, was a test based on saliva and two bacteria were found. My father was put on antibiotics. Two days later, his doctor (who has seen it all twice in the last three months) and told us that in his professional opinion, father not an infection, and there is no reason for him to be antibiotics, which he perscribed. He also stated that it is really dangerous for the father of antibiotics, but theirs, for it was the wish of the family. It has never been - we just wanted to know if he had an infection. Today, we found that we were more than $ 1,500 for drugs, we asked (ever) was calculated. Insurance does not cover it. Is it legal? What can we do? Although we can not afford it. First, you need another doctor to get your father to see this doctor is a danger to his health! A person who is on a Trach need more than two times in three months to be evaluated. You also need a second opinion. Request a copy of all his medical records. (They can not deny!) You also need an itemized bill. If he is on Medicare or Medicaid, you must contact them, sounds like he is guilty of fraud. You should also consult a lawyer, most people speak to you about a free initial consultation. I know of no antibiotic that costs so much for a two-day course! If your father is running a fever and a bacterial infection, he needed antibiotics. This is a very complicated situation. You do exactly the bacteria was found to be found. If you have the opportunity to make friends with a nurse or counselor, they can discreetly help you. You are entitled to your father's records. For the future, you should tell your father that rehabilitation is not to give medication without first consulting with your insurance or your family, I can see that you can not afford a lawyer, but you may be able to find one that works a contingency. Need a. Also check the support for rehabilitation of patients. I totally agree with Bandmom. Good luck. Medical errors are one of the top ten reasons for death. Errors in medical therapy may be at different stages of treatment. More information about the prevention of this technology is available for http://errors.in/medicaltreatment.html.

Why so much anger in this category?
I've been lurking in this category for a while and I can not understand why there are so many conflicts between them and against alternative therapies. It seems that those who oppose him just to come back here to waste by not responding to questions from people about the case. Pharmacists have a lot of dangerous side effects, and conventional medicines are constantly being recalled. It is not uncommon to hear lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies from the harmful effects of some medications. Moreover, the number of people who suffer abuse of natural treatments are not even close, and always hear of people helped with health problems that conventional medicine can not treat. I know there are conventional physicians and pharmaceutical companies increasingly turned my growing number of people from them in a safer and more holistic approach to health, but rather frustrated too bitter and angry that they believe helps to not have as much weight as it used to, why they are not educating themselves instead of their frustration with their patients? To be fair, I realize that the doctors who taught in medical school, because they receive most of their funding from pharmaceutical companies and their abusive insurance companies do not allow them to recommend natural therapies must increase should not anger from people who are ostensibly on your health. As with all "professional" in this site.w What are you doing out of the stable alternative therapy? Why so much anger in your responses? It is not very useful, except to relieve your frustration, and I expect more from a doctor or nurse Its so disappointing that you only make action look so bad. I should add that I do not throw conventional medicine. I think it has its place, but it is safer and more effective alternatives exist, it is no longer in line with the "do no harm"? Some people are so narrow minded about natural therapies in AA number of non-English speaking countries in Europe together, learn the alternative doctor alopathic (conventional) medicine.

Who has more independence in making medical decisions: physician's assistant or nurse practitioner?
I make a big career for 40 years. I once long ago orientation, have good grades and my subsequent major and master's degree (related) and I put most of the requirements for the logo. school, minus the MCAT. But my age, with costs. training, liability insurance, and the change in medicine is for me a little scared, and I am thinking of alternative careers. How can my academic, medical-oriented mind to the best work in less time than that. The school - which the PA or RN as an artist? Do you have any experience of / with one of these? Do you have another idea that I have not thought of? Money is a problem, if scholarships are available. Thanks in advance! Doctors assistant for sure. A young doctor has more freedom and I think the more prestige and credibility. It is never too late to start, check out this page for more info. PureMedicalJobs.com Need a POI, you must first RN and get a master's degree in nursing. You have more automomy NP Depending on the state where you live, you have a medical sign behind you. The Palestinian Authority is required to have a title (no matter how it is) and apply to PA school. The Palestinian Authority can only practice with a doctor who signs behind you and make sure everything is done. I just take the money. I think it is more likely to get a grant for the nurses because of shortage of nurses. Have you ever thought of pharmaceutical sales, though? Now is the money tree .

Ever been in the hospital? Did you ever wait over 30 minutes for a nurse to answer the light?
Never been in the hospital? Have you ever wait longer than 30 minutes for a nurse to respond to light? Do you think the skill level of staff can have a direct relationship with patients with complications in hospitals? I almost die twice in two different hospitals nurses contracted MRSA. I stayed in a gerney unattended in a hospital corridor for three hours and I can not walk or stand. A nurse shouted, screamed, why should I take my pills. They are not my pills - wrong color - belonged to the boy next door. We are asked to arrive early to appoint a doctor, but hopefully (sometimes for hours). I went to college but I guess that your time is more important than mine. If a U.S. Marine had to go kill someone to save lives, but can not be late. Doctor blames me and other patients for the high cost of insurance - really? - Are you kidding me? I have never been maimed or killed someone with my professional incompetence, Obama is the man that we elected to solve this problem? LMAO: -) Thanks to communicate Razor's Edge for us to track how many people have agreed on a hospital floor. That really take care of patients? Short staffed? I've seen what they should do just revised the hospital's staff during the day, you were at a local hospital you were not. This unfortunately happens all the time, and will only get worse with the new health care bill. I have many, many times over the years has gotten worse and I have been among the best in my area, not just community hospitals, and they're all the same nurse who is not important, more and doctors who care even less, and the new Health Care Account will not change anything as long as the employees do not give a damn No, but it will soon. I love my Russian friend said he said he moved here to escape socialism and Obama care hit back in it. I asked him what he likes and he said "return home only the government or the KGB to see a doctor, everyone is waiting." Depends on who you think is a nurse. Blaming a technical assistant RN (team leader), but also, and nurses. RN, s power plant, the land is responsible for assisting customers in the food, hygiene facilities and customers, vital signs, etc. diaphragm RN and retain the most seriously ill. Most hospitals are cutting staff because of the costs and therefore the staff is limited at times. Maybe when you are discharged, you can file complaints and find solutions to negative situations. Moreover, the newborn is to have as much training and licensing, LPN, nurse practitioners call if you can have a year to 18 months.

Family Nurse Practitioner VS Family Doctor?
I just graduated with my BSN. I've always wanted a family nurse practitioner (8 years), but recently the idea of a practitioner took my interest. I searched the internet for some pros and cons, but I can not decide which direction I go. I love the interaction I have with my patients and I do not want to lose that money is not an issue. I love what I do, and that to me is more important than any dollar amount (although somehow, I would rather live as comfortably). I guess I would be employment. If I understand correctly, I can go to medical school with my BSN degree and not in advance. Is it true? So what's the difference between professional responsibility? If I worked at a hospital, they must pay for it (I'm sure it depends, but generally?) Do you have any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Follow up: Nurse Practitioner or Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist?
Okay, so I decided not to go to health insurance because school.with above, insistence on reducing insurance costs for private appointments and hospital bills, meaning higher income lower, it just does not cool.So I'll be a nurse practitioner or a Crna. I really wanted an anesthesiologist and a Crna never knew existed! I think that's really cool, not because we have not any kind of an anesthesiologist (although there are some differences of course). So you think it would be a good choice? I prayed about it and with my family in medicine, I think it is doing the right thing is hard, I just need to know what to do. I do not think Edward Cullen is a nurse practitioner. If you do anesthesia, Crna. When you have a BSN, there are a few more years, if you change your mind and you can while training in the moonlight. So when I decided not to go to medical school for my own reasons, I took several things that were related doctor and then "Eeny meeny miny mo" I chose respiratory therapy, twice, thrice. I always thought that God was guiding me because I wanted one of the other options. If you really want to be a doctor, you must be a doctor and accept a slightly lower income. There is more to life than money. The two alternatives are fresh and probably good to be a doctor, in practice, either generally or anesthesia. So after his dream. I do not think it is logical to consider the potential benefits in assessing the cost of their studies, but whether it would be a lawyer now. It 's very difficult, not to help the poor, at least for me. My mother was a nurse and greatly appreciated. He worked in a psychiatric facility. He liked the work of more than a normal hospital. (I joke that when they find me) Good luck and I hope you find the path that is right for you because you have to do in family medicine, talk to them about your thoughts or ask your professional advisers. They have more experience of the site and as someone Y! A. Your personal resources can provide answers to questions you have not taken into account. It is restricted to one reason or another, in these areas? There are so many opportunities in medical research .

Does national health care work in Canada?
Yes, works fine, I have discussions with the 100s is good. It is a bold face lie, they come to U.S. for care they do not. Of the 100 I have not talked to most of a car or travel. I told the nurse to call me every day doctors also think it works well. The neocons that liability as a reason for the high price point, it is not. This is just another lie. 1 / 10 of one percent have insurance. Neocons would receive $ 1,000,000 for his father who died, but they would not get a penny if you die as a direct result of negligence. It's good for the poor. After bad I'm talking about. Yes they say to me, long queues are common. I'll pay you to visit my doctor $ 75 for an office and 1 hour to wait many times. It's no Biggy about your health. We spend 500 billion dollars on defense, and we use only 14 percent of spending on social programs. 3000 died on 11 September. There are 1 / 10 die of a percent this year, because no health insurance in the United States. Our work in the national health system, but needs improvement to address serious problems such as long waiting times and lack of doctors, who brings a lot of relief personnel to Canadians that we can go to see the doctors and dentists, and receive basic services without incurring great personal cost. health ins socialist Canada does not work! long waiting lists to see the doc, waiting too long for all a disservice. Answers strains of the Canadian online bloggers, who hates the system. Common sense tells us If you know your history, does not work, socialism in all aspects of life, why they are so poor service?, Common sense! "If you pay up depleate to support these programs, you have no other choice, voting bc / meeeeeeeeeee stupid, crazy! Duh, why these Canadians are not talking about cars, because they can not afford to be needed because of high taxes rates, their medical socialization program to support socialism. But maybe you're right. The government should launch health service. After all, they have a good job running the post office and licensing office. I live in a tourist area with lots of Canada "snow birds" moving here Every winter one of the reasons listed on the local news is the health system here in the U.S. where they can receive their offices -.
