if a medicine works for something and its the only one that has in 13 years...

...why not use it? doctors are always giving me a hard time about using ativan. there is a certain dose that actually gives me days with no headaches at all and i feel semi normal, but the VA refuses to give it even though the pharmacy allows that particular doseage to be given out for less traumatic injuries. now i have reacted to so many meds in the last 13 years im scared to use anything new anymore, but every doctor constantly wants to use me as a guinea pig and im sick of it! i have had my last reaction to a medication and especially when i tell someone im allergic to it, its in my records and he makes me take it anyway ...is that not what u would consider malpractice? but, noone will sue the Va or investigate this neurologist in pittsburgh at all about it! he even laughed at me and said i was ignorant and called me names! now is that professional? it says right on the wall "let us help u manage ur pain, noone knows ur pain like you do" RIGHTTTTTTTT! NOT HIS PHILOSOPHY!
ann show me a doctor that isnt that way and i wont talk that way, ive seen so many doctors in my last 13 years since i was in the army that im actually sick of the medical field and i was planning to be in it myself. thats the kind of distaste they have given me over the years for their blatent disregard for my health or welbeing or my family.

Oh gosh, a lawyer would love to meet you.

Please do not say "every" doctor.
My dad is a doctor and I was highly offended that you think "every" doctor uses their patients as a "guinea pig."
I would word your questions a little better next time.

Yes, it is malpractice and I would find a lawyer a.s.a.p.
