I agree. I think everyone has given good advice. It's now up to Chris to choose the way he wants to go.
I just want to say I was speaking in generalities. We tend to stop the medication and not dismiss the patient.
It's sad, but I am hesitant to dismiss the patient even when they attack me. I have had that happened once. This is because of the board complaints.
We only called the police on three patients. A nine-year-old girl with ADHD that was out of control. A very large patient with autism where I should have deescalated the situation instead of escalating it, and a drug rep.
