I must say that you are completely wrong in accusing Dr. Arimah of carelessly writing prescriptions. This is just not true about him as a Physician.
We, as patients, must take our own personal health seriously. We have to be responsible for our own selves.
You obviously do not know Dr. Arimah. I have never known anyone who thinks he would prescribe unnecessary medications for anyone.
When I first started seeing Dr. Arimah, he actually took me off of several medications. He also reduced the quantity of some of the other medications I was on. He took the time to explain his decisions, and he carefully advised me on each problem or concern.
I have many medical problems, and he is one of the last few good doctor's to be found in my town. He explained carefully how much of each medication I needed to take, when to take it, and why.
He is a very careful and attentive doctor. Dr. Arimah takes his patients seriously, and he is compassionate and caring. These qualities are hard to find these days in a physician.
A patient must be responsible for their intake of drugs when they leave a doctor's office. Each patient should read every prescription bottle closely, or read the insert/info provided by our pharmacist.
If a patient has RX questions, they should always call their pharmacist. If a patient irresponsibly makes a decision to take too many pills, or mixes medications without consulting with their doctor first - it is not the doctor's fault.
Unfortunately, there are people who do take too much of a prescription, or they do carelessly mix medications without checking into it first. But, the doctor cannot be with us after we leave his office.
I can assure you that Dr. Arimah would never purposely prescribe medications unless he truly believed a patient needed it. In my 51 years of life - I have only found 2 exceptionally caring doctors, and one of them is Dr. Arimah. I totally trust him.
Your circumstances are unfortunate, but I honestly do not believe Dr. Arimah can be blamed. I extend my sympathy, but I think in cases like this, the patient's own responsibilities must be considered.
If a person is too old or unable to care for themselves properly (as far as administering medications to themselves) - they should have someone help care for them.
I hope my comments help in some small way. Perhaps it will assist you in feeling less concerned about Dr. Arimah being at fault, and it will help you realize what a really good doctor he is. I believe he only wants the best for his patients. I speak with full confidence in Dr. Arimah in response to this situation at hand that we are discussing here.
