Where patients are seriously ill and the medication is likely to be changed, perhaps daily, it is unwise to order more than small quantities of the drugs or preparations required* Most prescriptions for h}^notics should contain the request to the druggist that *'it be not repeated;'" and whenever a h}T>notic, a narcotic, or a poisonous drug is given, the physician should not dismiss that patient until he knows the drug has been stopped, WTien a physician is called to a patient who has been treated by another physician, and he does not know that fact until he has arrived at the patient's house, he should refuse to care for the patient until he knows that the other physician has been dis- missed and that his charges have been paid. On the other hand, if possible, he should generally notify the physician that he has been called to his patient, and seek consultation, to learn first hand the story of the case and the cause for the family's desire to change physicians. If a physician assumes charge of another physician's patient, he must exercise great care lest hesay some- thing that would be derogatory" to the other physician. Many times it is not even necessarj^ to look over the prescriptions of the previous physician, as it is much better to give the treatment which seems advisable without criticising what has been pre- viously given.
