How do we get justice from a judge that condemns a low creatinine level when I know my daughter is drug free?

Just the fact that she wasn't honest about who the father actually is can help prove that she's unfit.  Tell him to contact an attorney right away and see about getting custody.

Doesn't matter if they read your rights or not, that will only get you out of any incriminating statements you made... Do you have a record of any kind?  If not try to get a plea deal for probation and have the charges reduced to disorderly conduct.  What area/city/state are you in?  That makes a big difference too.  If you do get infront of the judge explain how you just graduated and weren't thinking right and you know you made some bad decisions and other crap he wants to hear... and dress nicely...  Theoretically you could get jail time and have your license suspended (in PA 6 mo for posession and another 6-12 for underage alcohol...)  but, like I said, if you have a clean sheet, and your look nice and act nice and make sure the judge knows how sorry you were you should get off with a tap on the wrist... a year or two of light probation and a fine... remember though, if you get stuck with posession it follows you for the rest of you life as a drug conviction, so do whatever to get that reduced...

I am very sincere when I come to you with this answer.  It's sounds to me that her body is taxed. Our bodies are machines and with too much stress our body starts to break down and show signs of wear like nausea, stomach upsets, headaches is a big one.  Couple that with the fact that she is taking various drugs. Drugs are foreign bodies. Our systems are often tolerant of them but it doesn't mean they always are. Our bodies are designed to fight foreign bodies. A cold is foreign body so think of how you feel when you have a cold or a virus like the flu. Your body fights and you FEEL that fight to eliminate the foreign body. Drugs though designed to help are still a foreign body. It may be that her body is worn down by various things and is surfacing in the form of nausea. I feel that you actually answered your own question. Re-read what you wrote. She's got a lot going on.  We love our daughters so much don't we. We just want to help them. If it were my daughter I would focus on some healing and maybe backing off some of the drugs when she is able.  Find ways for her to become healthy again both mentally and physically. Take walks together. Tell her some more how much you love her. I know you must love her alot or we wouldn't be talking right now. The poor thing, if she is taking Zoloft then she struggles with depression right. If she's taking Methadone for pain and an addiction I would say she has a WHOLE lot on her plate right now. Just love her, love her and love her some more. Only she can pull herself out of this but you can most certainly stand right by her side and fight the fight WITH her.  Good luck to you both!

You may or may not have a case, i guess i dont know the details. If he discussed the case with the cashier in an effort to solve the problem of who has the script, I dont think it would be a privacy violation (I maybe wrong) especially if he didnt disclose to her what drug you were taking. And its going to be hard to prove by word of mouth that this isnt what happened. If it was a personal conversation though and then it would probably be a HIPPA violation.  I'm an intern in pharmacy school but I'm not a legal expert so I don't know every little detail and what counts as a HIPPA violation and what doesnt. Also, if they end up not having that your ex isnt allowed to pick up your Rx you might have a tough time proving your case. Like I said though, I dont know the details of the incident nor am i familiar with the situation, and I'm sure im not hearing the whole story. It seems odd your doctor would "drop" you if there wasnt more to this story... You probably need to talk to a lawyer to get an exact answer if you really want to sue them. It sounds like it was probably an honest mistake by the pharmacy. Pharmacies usually have several thousand patients, and to be realistic its pretty much impossible to stay up on the domestic situations of each one. If they had a note on your husband, it was probably buried in the part of your profile called the DUR in which case they tech wouldnt have seen the note unless she was looking for it. I think you're also going to have to prove that your ex picked up your prescription... and even if he did, the pharmacy would be able to give you more if you had refills, though your insurance might not cover it. So yeah, you need to ask a lawyer... but IMO you dont have that much of a case... sorry about the trouble you've had though.

If she's under 18 you can get a court order for her because she is in possesion of drugs. Or for any other offense that I'm sure she's committed. Even if she's over 18, the court can order her to rehab or she can go to jail. I will tell you though, if she won't get help from you, she won't accept help from anyone else either.

i dont think that there would be any way in the world that a judge would even let this man in the same room alone with your daughter. good luck.

Serving time is not going to solve the problem, but it may help her to realize that she has one.\n\nOnce she has discovered that she has a problem, then the rehab should be successful.  \n\nHowever, she needs to be unable to contact her dealer...if you can get that person put away you would be doing everyone a favor!

yes, it was lengthy time wise.  judge's have heard and seen it all, they usually can see through people.  don't worry too much about that.\n        but the judge will be concerned that if you had a child with this guy, you might be susceptible to another man like this and expose the child again to danger. it's about the child, not you guys! \n        start getting help for you and your daughter, from a professional right now before trial, it will go a long way with the judge!      \n        be calm and don't interrupt at the trial! whoever acts most grown up will reap the benefits.\n         if your ex is a jerk, he will show himself under pressure, you don't need to help.  just sit back & let it happen. & most of all keep a straight face! \n       judges know,  the main mistake single mom's make is concentrating on finding another man.  \n     but if you pay 100% positive attention to the child, good men just seem show up! it's like they watch from a distance and see if we are good or something.\n     bad men are the ones who take your time away from your child.  just remember your child's needs come before yours. \n    all these attitudes will help you in court. if the judge sees this it will help your case immensely!

Reading this was like reading something I had written about my own son who is also a teenager.  He doesn't have diabetes, but he is at the age where I can't tell him anything!!!  Needless to say, I can relate to your situation but understand how yours is different because your daughter's rebellion can impact her health.  Have you called your DR. since the visit when he didn't "back you up"?  I think I'd start by letting him know I wasn't really happy with his approach.  Maybe next time he will more strongly express the importance that she take a more active role in managing this.  \n\nWith my son, the thing I keep coming back to is this:  He's got to make his own mistakes, because he's not going to listen to or learn them from me.  If he misses the bus again because he can't haul out of bed in the morning, he's going to have to "pay the price" of suspension from school, no excuses from me.  In your case, since she won't listen to you (but could get seriously hurt by not listening) are there any pre-teen diabetic support groups that local hospitals have where she can participate with her peers and listen to dr's/rn have open forums about the issues of the disease?  It also might help her deal with some of the other issues she's facing like feeling different.  That's a big deal for this age group.  There have got to be others you would trust for her to talk to, since she's going to rebel against you right now.  Of course she needs you as support/love, but I've just found that right now, they want to do everything BUT what we suggest or ask them to do.

If you are a nurse, I would think it would be hard to prove that the patient was in his right mind.  When my husband had his heart surgery, he said and did things that were totaly out of his character, all drug induced.  I mean there are several things to consider, was it intentional, were there drugs involved,etc.  I hope you find a lawyer  that will take your case, but your insurance will probably be a better and cheaper way to go.  Good Luck

This has happened to a friend of mine as well.  She finally got a reprieve that lasted over a year because, by luck of the draw, they came before the same judge for the third time.  This judge, after looking over the history and realizing he drug her into court every 6 months, told him she was sick of seeing him for phony excuses so doubled his child support!  Then, he waited 18 months to drag her into court again (when usually he drug her in every 6 months!).  The support was lowered because my friend agreed to it but it was not lowered all the way.  He still drags her into court on a regular basis but he runs the risk of hitting this judge again.\n\nI have no idea how you can manage to get the same judge on a continuous basis...which would be a great way to go!  Ask your attorney if there is anyway to put an end to this madness.  My friend was told that there is not but I imagine that might depend on the state you are in.\n\nModification:\nTo the uninformed person above, what makes you think she DID anything?  My friend did nothing to deserve this and I doubt  this person did either.  What happened was marrying someone who ended up being a controller!  A controller can't let go and so will hang on and make your life as miserable as possible...the woman didn't do anything to him but he isn't about to let anyone else have her.  He wants to maintain control over her entire life.  Don't presume when you don't know the entire story.

depending on time of death i'd say he could be charged w/ some sort of reckless neglect. mabey even 2nd 3rd degree murder[ but it wouldnt stick unless he fourced the drugs on her.   my god if this is your daughter , i'm so sorry for you . i dont know how you will find any peace other than through forgivness.  the courts / police will only continue to "boil" your blood. as hard as it may be seek justice and solis in the lord not the system

This person has nothing to gain by taking more than prescribed. I wouldn't go looking for sysmptoms, I see a symptom, the abuse, and it is a clear sign she needs to get honest with her doctor if she really wants to get better.

It sounds like you may have a case, although of course ALL the details need to be reviewed. You should consult an attorney, I think it may cost you but it may be worth it if it was the hospital's fault. \n\nFind a lawyer and talk to them, I hope your daughter is ok. Good luck.

This sounds like a terrible story, but is there a question in it somewhere?\n\nEDIT: Okay, let's try to figure out what the question is.  Are you trying to figure out how you can get your daughter back from your ex-husband?  If that's it, you really ought to talk to a lawyer...maybe you can find a decent one through the Bar Association that will do some pro bono work.  If you just aren't interested in working with lawyers, and you really want to involve this group in something as personal as this, you're going to have to post more details...and more *relevant* details (stick to the facts, ma'am).\n\nIf you want better answers, ask better questions and include more of the important details.  Things people might want to know are these:\n\nAre there any court orders right now?\n\nWhat state do you live in?\n\nWhy did your ex take your child, or at least why do you think he did or what did he tell you?\n\nHave there been any allegations of improper parenting on either side?  Any mental health issues on either side?  Drug use?  \n\nIf I'm guessing correctly at what you want to know, I just don't think you're going to be able to get the answers you need in this forum.

I would strongly recommend that you contact the medical board about this.  If she is interfering with medication of patients she works with, it could have potentially fatal effects.  This is irresponsible at best, and criminal at worst.  A nurse is not a doctor and does not determine treatment of patients on her own, nor should she go against the doctor's orders.  While she may think in her own mind that she knows best, she is wrong.  Please report her to the medical board; they will investigate the complaint.  \n\nI am sorry that she took it upon herself to alter your son's medication.  I can only imagine what she is doing to other patients who don't have a sharp minded mother looking out for them.
