If you told your pdoc that you were having blackouts while driving and he increased the dosages and did nothing else, he was either grossly neglectful or he didn't believe what you were saying.
You did tell him about the blackouts, right? Because if you were having blackouts while driving, then, regardless of medication issues, he should have had you taken off the road. You were a threat to the safety of other drivers and pedestrians.
Falling down is another situation that your pdoc should have addressed, had he believed you. If you fell and injured yourself while in his care and could make a case that the condition was induced by his care via the medications, you could have sued him for malpractice and/or had his license to practice revoked.
There is simply no excuse for the kind of behaviour your pdoc has exhibited.
You've talked about some very serious and dangerous circumstances which your pdoc apparently ignored.
Something isn't right here.
