That could be. I know that some docs make patients sign care contracts. sm
Subject: That could be. I know that some docs make patients sign care contracts. sm

Compliance promise could very well be. Perhaps the patient had been noncompliant with his CPAP and the doc threatened him with something like being hospitalize, dying, etc.

A lot of PCPs make their drug-seeking patients sign what is called a Care Plan. It takes care of the "frequent flyers" to different docs and ED's. They are tailored to each patient. Perhaps Jane Doe can only get 4 pain shots a month. If she uses them all up in a week, then too bad, so sad. She will just have to tough it out. They are on file with all the hospitls here in case the frequent flying drug-seekers trh to hit different emergency departments, etc.
