My thought, exactly, Rachel. Not only, or most

important, even, their prescribing dr's

instigating legal trouble for us - our licensing

boards and malpractice insurers could quickly

restrict our abilities to practice and/or have

insurance reiumbursement. We cannot tell patients

to make changes to anything that we did not

prescribe, period. Very scary thought.

We've worked too hard to earn our license,

degrees, etc. To me, it's just not worth it.
