> Can you sue a doctor for providing treatment according to his malpractice insurance rather than your well-being? It seems unethical to me. Had I not researched my own treatment, I'd still be on an xxRI. In fact, if I didn't find this site about 6 months ago to figure out what was wrong, I would have failed out of grad school-guaranteed. I couldn't sue my last PDoc though, he really was a nice guy. I hate to say that, because it's really not a good reason, but I could not get myself to do that to him.

> I feel for them, the system sux, but still...I'll just have to ask my new PDoc's i'm shopping for about the level of malpractice insurance they carry before who I decide to see, I guess.I think the "Oh I can't prescribe that because of my insurance" line is bullcrap. I'd been on hydrocodone for depression for over 3 years with no problems and he one day decides his insurance won't cover him? I don't get it.
