QUESTION
is it illegal to kick a patient out of a suboxin program due to a doctor's road rage?
Asked on Sep 26th, 2014 on Medical Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
I was exiting the office and there was a white car blocking the exit. I have no driver license so my cousin drove me. Upon trying to leave the parking lot my cousin honked the horn very loud. Not knowing it was my doctor not paying attention and blocking the exit. The next month I show up and am told I'm not in the program anymore due to that incident in the parking lot. I was not the driver and had no control of the situation. Now I'm in terrible withdrawals on the edge of having a seizure from the xanax he cut me off from ontop of the suboxin withdrawal. Is this illegal? If so I want to sue him.

I suspect this was more than a simple cautionary "honk" and there was more to this confrontation. Your entitlement to be in the program revolves around hwo you got ther and the terms and conditions of it. If its voluntary and at the will of the doctor, you likely have no recourse but to find another program or therapist.
