I saw a doctor because I was worried about my rapid weight loss. She told me to take Miralax 3 times a day.?
Following my doctors orders, I went to a pharmacy and asked for assistance finding Miralax as I had never heard of it before. After drinking the medication for a month I returned to the doctor explaining that was horrible on my system and that I now had to wear diapers because I had lost control of my bowels. She became sharp with me and insisted that it was an absolute MUST for me to drink this drug three times every day. She argued with me in the same manner that a two year old argues with a parent. My weight dropped from 119 pounds to 97 pounds in less than 3 months. Additionally, it was an extremely cold Utah winter so I felt freezing cold most all the time and now at mid June it still feels cold to me. I am retired and therefore on a fixed income so I could not afford to buy new clothes that fit. My pants literally fell off me just walking out to greet a neighbor. Does anyone know if this would be considered medical malpractice? Thank you for your honest answers.
