>>The story is too long, this is just the most interesting episode.

For the record, there are *very* few indications for lasix in young relatively fit dudes. I'm assuming your SIL is relatively young and doesn't need a kidney transplant or have heart failure or anything like that?

Did your SIL request Lasix and eventually get some via a common heritage MD who he's not allowed to see again? I don't know if this is the scenario but I'm getting vibes about lasix for a son in law.

>>My mother-in-law got prescribed something by a neurologist to fend off the disorientation and vertigo. Among the side effects, the small print on the drug mentions possible disorientation and vertigo. The doctor is visiting this (unregistered, private) nursing home as his side gig, out of the system and most probably off the books. The drug's cost wasn't trivial, somewhere around 50€/month. And yeah, my wife (the retired MD) googled it out, and it's a new thing, approved just a couple of years before.

What do you think the physician should have done?
