I was withdrawing so bad, and kept drinking to stop it, eventually I went to my doctor's for help, he told me to either slowly quit as I cannot stop or I will very likely have a seizure, and go AA or consider Rehab, I phoned rehab, I had one question "am I going to suffer" he said no. So I went. Had to keep drinking for two weeks just to keep it at bay, got to rehab, experienced about 3 hours of withdrawals before I got medication and it was gone, only the shaking stayed. I was on a lot of medication though, Diazepam, muscle relaxers, tablets for my shaking, sleeping medication. Did 3 months there, sober now and happy as ever.
A Doctor should've put you under treatment right away, with IV to detoxify your body. You can't quit by degrees slowly specially if it is a severe case of withdrawal else you may go mad and never return.
I'm a bit confused about this short.
When it comes to the "a sad conversation comes up" part, it presents a very weird false dichotomy between "putting the patient in DTs on medication", or "they'll just continue to drink afterwards."
That's not an actual dichotomy, and even if a patient says to your face that they'll just continue to drink after being discharged, it's STILL your medical obligation to give them some medication to stop any potential life threatening seizures they would have going through DTs.
