The
Doctor-Patient Relationship
The
information on www.livemoresimply.com is for general information or
educational purposes only and can in no way substitute for clinical
and/or healthcare services. Visiting this website or contacting me by
email, text or telephone does not constitute or establish a professional
or therapeutic relationship. This can only be completed in my office and
after you have completed all the necessary documents and met with me in
person. Neither are Meet & Greets clinical sessions. I can not
provide any clinical advise or consul during a Meet & Greet.
If
You Are Experiencing An Emergency
I
am not medically trained and the limitations of my licensing require me
to inform you that in an emergency -- medical, psychiatric,
psychological, safety, health, welfare and/or others -- you must contact
your medical doctors and/or 911 and/or the proper government authority.
You should also always consider going directly to a hospital emergency
room or psychiatric hospital, or calling a suicide help line like
Contact Dallas at 972-233-2233. There is a list of alternatives
emergency contact numbers and locations on this website at http://www.livemoresimply.com/Who_to_call_for_emergency.htm
If
You Need Medication, You Must Contact A Medical Doctor
I
am not licensed or qualified to prescribe medication. I feel comfortable
making suggestions to a patient’s psychiatrist or family doctor with
the patient’s permission, and I will always take an active interest is
what medications you take and at what dose. My treatment will not be
complete without doing this. You need to clear any changes in your meds,
however, with your medical doctors in advance.
This
is especially true in considering whether to stop medication abruptly,
or whether to decrease or increase a dosage, as opposed to phasing out a
medication, or to changing a dosage slowly over time. Abrupt changes to
meds can be very dangerous and I strongly advise patients to never stop
taking their medication as directed until discussing the implications
with their physician in person, and until then, it is very
important that patients remain on whatever medications currently
prescribed.
