I know a person whose life has been totally
...destroyed by drugs. This person was injured more than ten years ago and the Doctor prescribed pain pills and kept prescribing them until the person was fully addicted. When this Doctor finally figured out that the person was an addict and cut off the pain pills...the person just went Doctor shopping and when...and it was seldom...the person could not find a Doctor to prescribe pain pills...the person bought them off the street. As the addiction progressed the persons life began going down hill...and more than ten years later...has lost everything. The person's life is in total shambles...and being a full blown druggie can see no way out.
Now I realize that a person is responsible for their actions...but from my view point the original Doctor should have some culpability for this person's addiction as well as all of the other Doctors...and there has been many.
I wonder if anyone has attempted to hold a Doctor/Doctors legally liable for their addiction?
