As the Adminstrator for a Medical practice I will tell you the LEGAL answer and then the PRACTICAL Answer:
LEGAL ANSWER:
So long as the Physician avows that his or her judgment is clear and un-impaired, he or she can, in many states and jurisdictions, continue to practice medicine and examine patients.
PRACTICAL ANSWER:
If you KNOW your Physician is taking morphine, a morphine-like drug or OxyCodone type drugs because he or she TOLD you-- consider the fact that the Doctor TOLD you of his/her own free will. And if they told WHY or for what they are taking the drug and you are comfortable with the reason (ie: pain releif from pain from cancer) then decide for yourself whether you continue to trust this person and whether you still feel comfortable with this person.
If you KNOW your physician is taking drugs of ANY kind and they did nOT tell you, but you see CLEAR evidence of impairment or unsettling behavior, then you should worry about Impaired Judgment. And if there is a risk of impaired judgment or the doctor's behavior makes you uncomfortable, trust your gut feeling and seek another physician and request your records to the new practice.
What else can I help you with?
Is morphine in fentanyl?
No, Percocet is not oxymorphone. Oxymorphone is a combination of oxycodone and morphine. Percocet is just oxycodone, except for 5's and 10's they also have acetaminophen in them.
Do herion and oxycodone show as one opiate in a urine test?
No, heroin and oxycodone are two different opioids and will typically show up as separate substances in a urine drug test. Heroin metabolizes into morphine, while oxycodone is detected as oxycodone.
Does morphine give a false positive for cocaine?
Do the doctor's give you morphine while in labor
Is mscontin the same as Oxycontin on urine drug test?
no ms contin is morphine sulfate and Oxycontin is oxycodone while mscontin will show up as an opiate the Oxycontin shows up as oxycodone
If you have a morphine allergy can you take oxycodone for severe pain management?
No, you cannot. since hydromorphone is morphine with an extra oxygen molecule that allows it to pass through the blood brain barrier faster (much like heroin is actually morphine also but with an extra acetyl molecule), you will still have the same allergic reaction. try Oxycodone (percocet) or Hydrocodone (Vicodin) instead.
How is the word patients used in a sentence?
While the Nurse was comforting the patients the doctor gave them an injection.
What does a doctor do while on the job?
In my experience, he makes patients wait.
Is morphine the same as percocet?
Both morphine and Percocet are used to treat moderate to severe levels of pain. The difference between them is that morphine acts on its own whereas Percocet is a combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone.
What is a sentence for patient?
It is hard to be patient when waiting for your car to be fixed. The doctor went to the hospital to check on his patient.
Can urine test determine difference between morphine sulfate and percocet?
Urine tests can be very unreliable. The fact that they are still used as a "foolproof" method to determine what is in an individual's system is ridiculous, it ruins peoples lives. I been tested 6 times in the last two months and each time it has showed up as a different reading. First I was tested by my pain doctor (I am on Fentynal Patches 125mg every 3 days and morphine sulphate 30mg as needed. I've been on these meds for 10+ years.) the office test on 4/12 came back showing oxycodone in my system so they sent it out to the lab and the lab found oxymorphone in my system. A month later the doc tested me again on 5/10 and again oxycodone came up in the office test. Now that my doctor was looking at me like a drug addict, I decided to go to a different lab where they test employees on the spot. My first test with this lab was again on 5/10 and it came back completely clean, they found nothing. I knew this was wrong so I came back in the morning on 5/11 and tested again and they found morphine and oxycodone in it. After talking with the lab techs and them explaining to me that certain levels of morphine can come back as other drugs such as oxycodone I decided to do a hair test to finally get to the bottom of it. The lab techs swear that it is 100% accurate so I am looking forward to showing it to my doctor.
If you took oxycodone while on suboxone then when is it safe to take suboxone again?
wait at least 12 hours. usually after taking opioid such as heroin, fentanyl, morphine, hydrocodone you have to wait at least 24 hours. but ive found with oxycodone you only need to wait 12. no less than 12 though.
What is stronger Opana or Oxycontin?
Extremely - a single 100mcg/hr Fentanyl patch (good for 48-72 hrs depending on the patient) is equivalent to an overall Oxycodone dosage of 202mg per day, or about 9mg Oxycodone every hour for 24 hours. The average Oxycodone dose is about 10-20mg every 6 hours. Fentanyl is the strongest opiate on the planet at 100x stronger than oral morphine. While it is normally used as an anesthetic, it's used in transdermal patches as a timed-release pain med for severe pain patients.
