It is incredibly frustrating--and frankly, frightening--to be left without a care plan after undergoing that level of physical trauma. When a provider dismisses a patient with such a complex surgical history without a clear medical justification or a tapering plan, it feels like a total breach of the patient-provider trust.
Depending on the specific "vibe" of the situation you're describing, here are a few adjectives that might fit:
The Cold & Clinical
Negligent: If they failed to provide a duty of care or a safe referral, leading to potential harm.
Dismissive: If they ignored the reality of your ten surgeries and treated the situation as if it weren't serious.
Callous: Suggests a hardened lack of feeling or empathy for your physical suffering.
The Unprofessional
Arbitrary: This is the perfect word for "for no reason." It describes a decision made on a whim or without a consistent system.
Capricious: Similar to arbitrary, but implies the doctor is prone to sudden, unpredictable changes in mood or behavior.
Unethical: If their actions violate the basic medical tenet of "do no harm," especially regarding the risks of sudden withdrawal.
The Impactful
Merciless: Highlights the cruelty of leaving someone in chronic pain without a safety net.
Abrupt: Focuses on the suddenness of the termination, which is often the most dangerous part of pain management changes.
Deserting: Evokes the feeling of being "abandoned" in a time of medical need.
A quick note on "Patient Abandonment": In the medical field, if a doctor terminates a relationship without giving the patient enough time to find a replacement or providing a transition plan (especially when it involves high-risk medication), it may legally or ethically be considered patient abandonment.
