ED Prescriptions
So here's a question...
If a doctor prescribes Viagra or some other ED prescription, should the doctor be required to discuss the prescription with the spouse?
My spouse came home with free samples & a prescription - unbeknownst to me. It took about 15 minutes for me to tell a difference...
Am I wrong to feel violated because the prescription wasn't discussed with me (by spouse or doctor)?
And finally, should this issue be posted in "relationships" or "health?"
Like it or not, if the man won't talk about it with his partner, it's not the doctor's job.
No.
maybe you're not wrong to feel that you should have been consulted (and maybe you are), but it certainly isn't the doctor's job to tell you about it.
seems like your hubby was feeling bad about his performance and trying to suprise you -why on earth are you upset?
The doctor is not at liberty to discuss that information with anyone but the patient and the insurance company.
Are you wrong to feel violated? That's up to you but if you haven't discussed it with your spouse by now then I think I understand why he didn't discuss it with you first.
i voted before i read the post
Dr required>? NO
spouse SHOULD? yes
The doc's job is to provide medical advice to the patient, not relationship advice to the couple. Not his job to inform you.
The Doctor doesn't have time for that shit unless you plan and go together.
If you know he got free samples and a prescription, I'd say you have discussed it. Sounds to me like your displeasure with him acting on his own, stems your failure to be able control him this time.

Absolutely not. Should the doctor be required to talk with you before you get birthcontrol?
HIPAA prevents them from talking to anyone but the patient.

I think those x's and o's represent bullseyes.
(probably might have something to do with his ED too. Tough to get it up if you are concurrently being emasculated. Umm. I read that somewhere.)
unanimous.
your question is a relationship one, not a health issue.
Another ditto for xoB and footer
unanimous.
Actually, it's not... we have two voters who disagree. Maybe they could post their thinking?
It would be a waste of time for my husband, he just doesnt need it. But if he did, and he surprised me with it, I dont think I would be uspset about it.
Well, let's see. Say I wanted to get birth control pills and my DH didn't want me to. Or meds for depression. Or meds for anything else, for that matter, that was optional, I wasn't going to die without them but they'd make me feel better about my life.
DH could very well sit in that doctor's office and say, hell NO, you're not putting my wife on the pill. I want her to have babies. Lots of babies! Barefoot and pregnant, that's how I like it!
I highly suspect you'd go to the doctor and get the pill anyway, or would at least defend a woman's right to do so.
Perhaps he was embarrassed to discuss it with you. I think many men would be.
Sexual irony. Your husband is treating his ED and you're taking it hard.
:D
I don't get how you'd feel 'violated'. A man's ability to perform sexually is a pretty damn personal thing. That hardon is what he brings to the bed games, how he goes about getting it is surely up to him?
Maybe your husband didn't want to discuss it with you because he was afraid you'd post it on the internet.

ouch.
Maybe your husband didn't want to discuss it with you because he was afraid you'd post it on the internet.
Or he's afraid she'll make a mountain out of a molehill...

well one of them posted that they weren't thinking when the voted....

LOL!!!! Aaaah! lol!
No...really.:)
Any new prescriptions should be discussed. Of course I am divorcing so son't listen to me.
If my partner came to me with that problem and wanted to remedy it, well what's not to discuss?;)

You mean whats not up is for discussion right?
Sometimes I wish you could get a script for viagra without your husband knowing you're going to give it to him...you know, for those times when he thinks he's just too tired? :)
lol - oh thats real nice Ali. So when hes passed out from exhaustion, you can slip him one - nice real nice.
lol...I can't help it! I find my husband desirable but he gets pretty tired after he's been travelling and working hard...and I've been sitting on my arse at home getting antsy...and missing him.
Isn't that why god invented UPS men?
No. UPS men evolved from fish.

If I were JLJ I would ask WWJD?
soooo, does too much ED medication result in drunkposting?

Don't ask me, I don't drink and drive. :D

That probably wouldn't work, as it provides functional capability, but it's still the brain that makes it happen. Viagra won't overcome exhaustion or distraction on it's own.
Yeah, but he could just lay on his back and let me do the work right? :D
If you don't mind the snoring, but I supposed you wouldn't be mad if he said,"Get off me lady, I'm married." :haha:
well, I could always respond, "In a minute. I'm nearly there!"
