A bit of extra info: By 'Refusing care' I mean that his doctor wants to take him off of all his pain medications (Oxycontin, hydrocodone, etc.) at once and without rehab; to simply refuse to prescribe medication, including his blood pressure and cholesterol meds. He's 5'8" and only 110 lbs. Will withdrawal not kill him, and is it not illegal for a doctor to knowingly endanger a patient's life?
