Absolutely, you've got to keep reminding them. If they don't like it-- that's their problem.
I had one MD give me a contraindicated TCA with EMSAM-- in such a large dose that my pdoc said my changes of mortality were pretty high.
I had specifically called her attention to the MAOI conflict and said I didn't think I could take that. She scoffed and said she was well aware of MAOIs and it was perfectly fine.
Luckily, I didn't stick with her insistence-- but called my pdoc ASAP to double check. And at dentists, I tell them when they're holding the novacaine-- just to make sure they haven't forgotten.
We really can't afford to let them intimidate us into silence-- there's too much at stake. They do have an attitude-- which is hard to ignore-- but I force myself to speak up anyway.
