Who do I speak with about a nurse who had my doctor dismiss me as a patient because of false information?

A nurse in my Doctors pratice informed my doctor that she saw me driving after receiving a narcotic in the office, the statement is compleatly false. I received 2 perscriptions and a shot of phenagrien, I have tried to clear this up with my docter but the nursing staf will not put me through to him and they will not register the complaint against the nurse either, and because of this false statement I have lost the doctor I have been seeing for 17 years. now I cant get the medical treatment for my very serious health problems, and I also worry that this nurse may hurt someone with this behavior of hers, this is serious misconduct for a nurse. The letter I received from my Doctors office was sent via the uspostal service certified, and my record at the doctors office should show the treatment I received that day. I would like to take them to court for malpratice 1 for pain and suffering, 2 for defimation, 3, Slander, 4 maltious intent, but who do I talk with first? etc.

Phenergan is an an anti-emetic that can cause drowsiness and impaired reaction times. Most facilities will ask before you are given the medication if you have someone to drive you home. There is a liability to the the practioner giving it to you if it is administered and then you drive. Had you been injured or injured someone else then they could be sued.
We live in a society where everyone thinks that they can sue/ report a health care practitioner for anything and everything. A physician is well within his rights to terminate patient care with written notice and a reasonable amount of time to find a new doctor. There is no "law" that says they must be your doctor forever and ever.
Healthcare has become a CYA occupation. You admit that you drove after receiving the phenergan, therefore you put everyone of the road with you, as well as yourself, at risk. The nurse reported that she saw you driving after receiving the medication. The physician decided you were a liability to his practice, and decided to terminate you as a patient. Just as you can fire your doctor, your doctor can fire you.
You can try to sue them for "malpractice" but it would be a frivilous lawsuit. You admitted that you did indeed drive after the medication. Had you gotten into an accident and injured yourself or someone else you would be here threatening to sue because the doctors and nurses let you drive while impaired.
I am a nurse, and had you gotten into a vehicle and driven away after receiving phenergan I would have also reported it to the physician. Driving under the influence of a prescription medication is no more safe or legal than driving under the influence of alcohol -- both are driving while impaired.

I would seek Legal advice on how to go about it
Your solicitor or Legal Aid would be able to inform you better
GOODLUCK & HOPE YOU WIN

& Hope that nurse gets whats coming to her!!!!

the ama? nurses assoc?

Gee, sorry to hear that; she sounds like a *****.

Don't send them to court. Just complain about the nurse to the health realtions/department in your state or country. Yes she shouldn't have said something which she was wrong about. Have you even gone to the doctors office and asked to see him in person.
If you really have suffered serious loss because of these bimbo nurses then talk to a solicitor. Maybe your doctor hasnt even been informed you are being blocked from communicating with him. Maybe the nurses have been told something else which the nurse said. By law a doctor can't refuse to see you just because a nurse claimed without evidence you drove a vehicle under heavy influence of a etc.....................

is this a private practice or part of a larger hospital- if the former it may be prudent to approach what must be the equivalent of the Medical and Dental Council in this region, all nurses, doctors and dentists must be state certified and registered with a central and autonomous regulatory body, they will look into this situation on your behalf to determine if any misconduct or malpractice is in fact evident, you would in turn do well to submit any and all records pertaining to this series of events to the same council- failing this consult a lawyer. if the latter and your doctor's practice is part of a hospital approach the administrators who in turn would conduct an internal inquiry to determine if a breach of ethics, code of practice, malpractice, misconduct etc has indeed taken place, if this fails resort to the medical council, failing this see lawyer.

Report nurse to state board of nursing.
Send explanatory letter to Dr. via certified mail.

Do you REALLY need to sue?
Are you telling the complete truth?
Why should we believe you?

Be prepared to answer these questions.
