Ever heard of a thing called tele-consultation??
Ever heard of tele-consultation without truthful history taking!!
No psychiatrist will just write you psychiatric medications just because you called. No consultation, no follow up, no medications. Ever heard of pill count. Doctors even do pill counts to make sure you dont take more than you are supposed to. I have not seen how many total pills he was prescribed, anxiety medications are prescribed per week, sometimes no more than 5 at a time so you dont overdose and if you take more than you should, no more prescription.
Why was his regular psychiatrist not prescribing? Because probably he overused them and finished his medications before time, which means if you have to take 1 everyday and you take 3 a month's worth will last you for 10 days, then what do you do for the next 20 days?? Hunt for a prescription which is what he did.
