What is patient abandonment?

It's what most doctors tend to do when they can't easily diagnose the problem with the patient. Most physicians want patients that have clear cut issues to they can be treated (and billed) quickly, then the physicians move to the next "assembly line" patient. This is obviously NOT the REAL answer to your question, but it seems to be the trend in medicine these days, and I urge anyone who feels they have been abandoned by their physician to make their issues known. You CAN find the real definition of patient abandonment via the internet - just keep looking a little further. You'll find that many cases you may THINK are abandonment are really just examples of unprofessionalism, but not truly abandonment since other options and/or doctors were available to you within a reasonable time. Yet, that doesn't mean your physician should get a "pass" for unprofessional conduct. Remember there are other ways you can let people know about the conduct of your doctor. Find out the controlling authority for physicians in your state (who provides licenses to practice medicine) and complain to them. You can also send complaints to the Better Business Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce for the county where the physician does business, and there is nothing to keep you from sending letters to the local newspapers - especially small community newspapers that are typically desperate for anything relevant to print, and local organizations. Many of your letters may be dismissed and ignored, but if you send enough letters and make enough phone calls you can actually create an atmosphere of community dislike toward a particular physician (or business). Surprisingly, a single - but determined - dissatisfied client/patient can create the appearance of multiple issues just by the influx of letters by the various organizations and community officials. I'm NOT advocating you harass a doctor for a single case of misdiagnosis that was somewhat inconvenient, but not substantially damaging to you. And I'm not suggesting everyone should make a major issue over every mistake a doctor makes. They are humans and are naturally imperfect. But I AM encouraging those who have been recklessly (or selfishly) ignored by doctors or mistreated in a way that caused serious "damages" (discomfort, job loss, etc.) to STAND UP and make yourself heard because you will be helping others who will likely be treated as you have been treated unless there is some kind of intervention. Good physicians are becoming increasingly rare, and they should be respected and thanked for their contribution to the community. Bad physicians (or selfish physicians who care more about their business than their clients) should be identified so others can avoid the same experience you've had. Complaining about bad medical care is more than a right; it's a responsibility. Don't quit. Find - AND DEMAND - proper medical care, and pursue those who denied that care to you until those medical professionals are driven out of business or clean up their act. It's for the common good. Good luck.

What studies are necessary to become a pathologist?

In the U.S., a pathologist must first obtain a M.D. degree and then would specialize in courses pertinent to pathology, such as advanced physiology and anatomy and biochemistry, etc. In addition, it looks like you are interested in forensic pathology, and that would involve even more specialized courses in criminology, etc. So the short answer to the question is that you have to like school a lot to be a pathologist.

How many years does it take to get a doctorate in psychiatry?

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year, which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is design to be a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study in the prescribed manner. The minimum full-time student registers for a credit load of no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. In addition, there are some colleges and universities that offer accelerated programs of study. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the Bachelors and Associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees with the Masters and Doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

Please be advised, a psychiatrist is a Medical Doctor (MD) with a speciality in Psychiatry. This requires approximately eight years of schooling beyond high school.

Does the DEA require a doctors visit every time a patient needs a refill of adderall?

I don't know if you'll have to make a new full appointment every time, but in the entire United States, all ADHD medications are Schedule II, which means they cannot be prescribed by phone, cannot have refills, nothing -- the *only* way to get them is a paper prescription, which in addition must have security features such as a watermark, etc.

It is the same way with OxyContin, Morphine and other high strength pain medications.

No refills, no phone prescriptions, ONLY a hard copy paper prescription can be used.
