I have been seeing a doctor for 6 months who has me prescribed methadone at a relatively high dose for treatment of intractable chronic pain from Lyme disease. He had a heart attack and closed his practice leaving me with no referrals, the numbers his secretaries gave me led me nowhere and Im going to run out of meds at which time I will be chemically detoxing. He has recovered to the point that he is giving instruction to his office but is officially retiring. Isnt it irresponsible to leave a patient in this position? Is he legally responsible? Ive seen him since age 6. I and my entire community made this man rich, to have him say see ya, and leave me addicted seems negligent to me . What do you think?
