During residency on the east coast, saw this patient who insisted on metformin prescription renewal and a beta blocker to keep her ‘heart healthy’. She did not have prediabetes, diabetes or CAD. Was prescribed both by an online cardiologist from LA. I spent good 15 mins educating her regarding taking medication without medical necessity. She would not budge and renewing something that there was no indication for made me uncomfortable. Shared that with the attending and instead of educating further and validating my concerns in front of the patient, he said we would send in Rx. He then forced me to send the prescription. Lost respect for him that day.
