Can A military doctor prescribe me adderall or do I have to go to a psychiatrist to get it?
It depends on the doctor. Some will prescribe things freely for their patients while others will want them to see someone more experiences in psychiatric issues. I'm not certain but I'd imagine the military would want you to see a psychiatrist if you feel you need Adderall.
Can a doctor at a college infirmery prescribe you adderall?
They could, if they were indeed a physician and not a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. However, they would need to be able to diagnose the reason you need it and monitor you closely for side effects, etc. Most physicians at a college infirmary are there only to help acutely ill students and would not be comfortable writing prescriptions for chronic medications like Adderall. If it's something you're on all the time, they will probably tell you to see your doctor you usually get it from, and if you're not currently on it they would probably make you see a specialist for a diagnosis to prescribe it. So the short answer is they could, but it's unlikely.
How can I get my doctor to give me a prescription for a cane?
You do not need a prescription for a walking cane. Many stores carry them, and if you're going to use one, you'd probably enjoy getting one with a little more 'class' than a simple wood or metal cane. I messed up my knee while in the Navy, '82. Three different doctors all wanted to operate...for three different diagnoses. I refused surgery. It took months, first with crutches, then with a cane. Two years later, I was a Drill Instructor (RCC), walking miles, running with my recruits. Haven't had a lick of trouble since then. Good luck! (Try a Rexalls, or other large drug store.)

Will a doctor prescribe Clomid to an 17 year old trying to conceive?
Doctors cannot provide any sort of fertility medicine or treatments to any minor, even with parental permission. When you turn 18, you can attempt to get fertility medicine, although it will still be up to the doctors discretion and very few doctors will prescribe that to a teen, whether a minor or not. Your time will come to have a child, trust me. Whether you're 17 or 27..infertility is something that a lot of women in the world go through. Just hang in there, and focus on being a teen! Your time will come to have a child :)
What happens if I threaten my doctor when they refuse to prescribe something?
As others have noted, it depends on what you threaten me with.If you threaten violence, I’m calling the police. They will not look kindly on you. You may become acquainted with the local jail. You may have a restraining order filed against you. My employer has a legal department that will make your life miserable. Good luck finding another doctor, ever. You will not get the medicine you want.If you threaten to leave my practice, I will point you in the general direction of my front door and advise you not to let it smack you in the butt on the way out. You will not get the medicine you want.If you threaten to report me to the medical board, I will happily give you their phone number. The worst that will happen to me is that I will have a five minute phone conversation with someone from the board before they decide that I was doing the right thing, but my guess is that you will sound pretty unreasonable when you call them (if you call them - pretty much nobody actually follows up on this), and the board will file your complaint right in the trash can. I will also discharge you from my practice, and the next doctor who reads your chart will probably decide you are more trouble than she wants. You will not get the medicine you want.If you threaten to sue me, good luck finding a lawyer that will take your case. “The doctor won’t give me Lortab” is pretty thin basis for a lawsuit. I will also discharge you from my practice, and the next doctor who reads your chart will probably decide you are more trouble than she wants. You will not get the medicine you want.If you make vague and unspecific threats, if I’m in a charitable mood I’ll ignore you unless they become specific. If I’m not, I will discharge you from my practice, and the next doctor who reads your chart will probably decide you are more trouble than she wants. You will not get the medicine you want.Notice anything in common here? You can’t threaten me into giving you drugs, and things aren’t going to end well for you. If I turn down a medication request, it is for a good reason. That medication might not be the right thing for you medically. I might have a legal reason for refusing it. You can’t bully your way into a prescription. But you can sure bully your way out of one.
Why didn't my doctor prescribe me anything for shingles? It's my first time getting it and she told me there's nothing I can take. I'm only 23.
There’s no treatment FOR shingles, and, unfortunately, not much a doctor can do beyond advise you on self-careYou may get a prescription for anti-virals, but for best effect, these need to be started within 72 hours of noticing the rash. The anti-virals are:aciclovir (Zovirax)valaciclovir (Valtrex)famciclovir (Famvir)Depending on where you live, you may be able to purchase some of these over the counter (without prescription).All you can do is to treat the symptoms, and unfortunately this falls under self-care:Calamine lotionCool compresses on weeping blistersLoose clothingDon’t share towels, face flannels, etc.OTC painkillersOTC anti-virals, as above.
What right does my psychiatrist have to refuse to prescribe me a certain medication I ask for when there is no medical reason they can't? It's my money and my body.
Yes, it is “your money.” However, physicians are prohibited from causing harm, so your rights in how you may treat your body with prescription medicines is limited by law and ethics.Just because an hour of Google research may make you think you deserve this miracle medicine, maybe their training and research says otherwise. You could choose to see another psychiatrist but they’re going to want to see your medical records and will proceed with an abundance of caution.Furthermore, maybe your healthcare insurer will refuse to cover the medication.There’s one more thing. A heart to heart conversation with your psychiatrist where he or she discusses their reasons is better than getting opinions on Quora. Your psychiatrist probably has your best interests as Theo primary goal.
