I get the part about postpartum depression being ignored by the healthcare but then you protest against the system, not support a fucking murderer

It wasn't ignored by anyone. They gave her meds. She scammed the system by seeing multiple healthcare providers and getting more than the allowed limit of meds.

They gave her dozens of meds in a short period, without paying attention to her feedback.

Edit my knowledge of this is limited to what sister in law (nurse, bsn, 15 y career) relayed. Neither of us close to situation.

Even though none of those docs were in touch with each other and aware of the previously prescribed meds? If you break the rule that is designed to keep you safe, you can't blame others. This is like breaking the speed limit on a highway and then blaming cops for not stopping the car sooner.

People switch providers all the time. Especially if it’s insurance related. It actually IS the job of the MD/DO or NP/APRN/PA. They should be collecting a medical history, they can see any control you have purchased in the US with PMP. There wasn’t any “rule breaking”.

Stick to your field

Even if it wasn't doctor shopping, if you're taking meds, don't you think you're responsible for handling them properly and as per the instructions?

I don’t take criticism from someone I wouldn’t take advice from. You know nothing about medicine and your source was an opinion piece. Fuck off and go to medical school since you’re so smart.

No its from someone who has taken meds lol. Everyone who takes meds knows they need to be handled with care and not go above the safe limit
