As the title says, im wondering about a scenario which we may all have come across or will come across. Im asking for comments and/or opinions on what other physicians would do in such a case.
A patient comes to your office and states he/she is taking a schedule 3 medication without a prescription and wants your help in managing it, dealing with the side effects, etc etc.
I have left it open ended on purpose. Id like to know comments, opinions, on what the doctor should do, what is required by law, is the doctor liable for managing this patient's issues, anything else you feel would be a good teaching topic, etc etc.
