my first thought though was "life insurance"...i mean if he's he%% bent on killing himself you may as well be financially taken care of while your dealing w/ the after affects. It was wrong...I'm sorry.

I agree. A lawyer and a therapist should be your priority.
Big hugs...
Unfortunately...Dr's sometimes don't do the right thing...and sometimes they do what they THINK is right based on the assessment and pt history...which if your not honest..well what can he do? guess? I doubt your A was honest about his Alcoholism...he wouldn't have prescribed those if he were. Too big of a liability to give those meds to an Alcoholic.
You may want to leave the dr a message too. He won't talk to you...HIPPA and all that legal confidentiality...but he might like to know that he put his license on the line and is risking a lawsuit should something happen. He'll at the very least prob. not renew the Rx's.
