Alright, so I need real answers to this question considering its a matter of life and death. So please no jokers. And its rather long : /
I have a sick mother-in-law who is diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure), and among other illnesses. Three months ago she had a doctor change, and the old doctor use to give her medication for her hypertension that worked so well, she would be able to eat salt content without any serious repercussions, but with moderation of course. Now she has this new doctor and she is literally a nightmare and killing my mother-in-law and refuses to listen to her. This new "doctor" has given my mother-in-law medication that raises her bp well above 200/130 and refuses to listen to her patient that the medication does the opposite of what it should. The doctor refuses to listen and insists upon her continuing this new medication, even though its proven a complete failure, and another hospital that she went to when she got hospitalized due to severe hypertension forewarned my mother-in-law to discontinue this medication because it does not work for her blood pressure. The only thing this medication proves to be positive is for her kidneys, which are helping them work better. But there has to be other medications that can be helpful for her kidneys and her high blood pressure. She's been hospitalized twice for severe hypertension due to this medication. This doctor yells at my mother-in-law, and greatly angers her patient who is suffering hypertension. How she has a license, I do not know. In any case, I am finally going to her next doctor Appt and talking directly with this doctor to get things changed. My question now is if she proves to be stubborn and does not listen to me, what can i do? She works in a large hosptial, and is not in her own private practice. Who can i go talk to if she does listen to me or her patient and what can I do if she does not listen to me. Thank you, answers would be greatly appreciated, and you can potentially help save a life.

You shouldn't have to speak to the doctor, she's very rude

Simple solution....find another Doctor.

Just find another doctor. None of this sounds like malpractice just disagreement of treatment. Also the doctor will not talk to you about the MIL treatment unless you have medical power of attorney due to HIPPA.
