The
short answer to this question is simple - that it is always yes.
Prescriptions are written on a qualification basis and are rarely
questioned by the pharmacologist. A medical professional clearly
understands the risks involved with writing a pressured prescription
based on sales numbers. The question is necessity, and this affects
the results of the medicinal administration.
First
Line Defense
Doctors
use medications in terms of defense against illness, and the protocol
is set by general principles. There are standard medications for
similar problems. Antibiotics are an excellent example of medications
that are indicated according to the illness. Additionally, allergies
can be problematic in terms of effective medications if the patient
tolerances are acute. The individual system can impact the physical
response. Doctors have general medication protocols, but a volume
agreement with a particular pharmaceutical company for dispensation
of a particular pharmaceutical product could be probable cause for a
negligence claim against a doctor, along with the pharmaceutical
company.
If
you think you have been a victim of negligence you should turn to a
lawyer and file a 'false claim.' Goldberg Kohn Law firm defines a
false claim as, "...overcharging for a product, delivering less
than the promised amount of goods or services, providing inferior
products, failing to comply with program restrictions or charging for
one thing but delivering another." In the case of prescription
negligence, a lawyer could justify a case using the false claims to
qualify your case.
Illness
Diagnosis
Medication
regimens are determined by the diagnosis of the illness. A prime
example of this situation is mental illness diagnosis. There are a
significant range of mental illnesses that can warrant use of
specific medications. Additionally, pain and nerve medications can be
enhanced for individuals who are suffering extensive pain. Doctors
can easily be persuaded to write medications for certain types of
medications, such as pain relievers, to treat the symptoms of the
actual medical problem.
Purpose
of Medication
Most
medications actually address a medical problem and at times they only
address the mental state of the patient. Doctors are often too
eager to write a prescription for a particular medication, and this
may be a red flag that they are being financially compensated by the
product manufacturer to write as many prescriptions as possible.
Borderline diagnosis is a good indicator, as medications are set by
general issuance among doctors of a particular type.
Controlled
Substances
All
doctors are apprehensive about writing prescriptions for controlled
substances. The social stigma placed on contemporary drug abuse is
extensive, and controlled substances are at the top the list for
doctors and pharmacies. If a doctor is writing large amounts of pain
medication, then it should be researched. A determination needs to be
made to ensure that kickbacks are not being given for writing high
volumes of a particular prescription.
Negative
Results
Medications
that are administered inaccurately can result in terrible results for
the user, especially when they have been advertised to do otherwise.
Doctors are regularly paid to promote these medications, whether the
patient needs it or not. Doctors are only authorized to write
medications for known medical illnesses. Also patients need to be
sure follow instructions for the prescription as incorrectly taking
it can also have undesirable effects.
It
is not unusual to question the medication your doctor has issued,
along with the recommended dosage schedule. The question is about
whether it addresses the medical problem and, more importantly, is it
necessary. Medications that are unneeded are exactly that, and
doctors who engage in writing prescriptions for financial gain are
problematic for the system. Just because a doctor writes a medical
prescription does not mean it is being addressed properly.
Jeanetta
Champion, a medical assistant, contributes this article to let
Americans know that there are checks and balances for
prescriptions. The whistleblower lawyers at
Goldberg
Kohn
have the experience, sophistication and resources required to take on
even the largest corporate defendants. They can help with fraud
claims and assist in any kickback schemes involving the medical
community, pharmaceutical companies, medicare and medicaid. This firm
won the largest financial judgement in the history of fraudulent
claims.
