Re: I saw the Doctor and.......()

[Guest guest]

I was telling the doctor, what about cancer people that are children and

suffering and he had nothing to say, what ever!!

I don't have any doctor but the primary care doctor and he has signs posted that

he don't give narcotics out and should of told my old doctor that I moved but I

didn't.. I screwed up.

What kind of doctor's office puts up a sign saying they don't deal

with an entire (and essential) part of medicine?

It may still be worth discussing the topic with him. What's the worst

he can do? nothing

He might know a doctor who does prescribe them or he might make an

exception to his rule (just until you can get a pain doctor).

I read somewhere that in AZ there are only 13 registered pain doctors

that meet the guidlines inthat new law. I believe that I also read

that there are over 100,000 pain patients in AZ (as of the time that

article was written, pretty recently)

100,000 patients/13 docs= 7692.31 patients/pain doctor

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?

Best of luck and keep me up to date

My primary care doctor would not even take me as a patient unless I was seeing a

pain management doctor for my pain. This is the new trend in the United States

of America. The land of the Free.

I am oh so careful how I treat my doctors. I sent them Christmas cards. One got

candy. I dress up when I go. I smile. Now all of this is very difficult for me

because of I have chronic pain. The pain is so bad I sometimes wonder if IÕll

make it through the night. Anyway, I treat them well because the doctors want to

think that they are helping. If they think you are not benefitting from their

care, you might be dropped. Be so careful. In California, it is unthinkable for

an internist or a GP to prescribe opiods. ThatÕs just the way it is. We probably

get better meds from someone trained to work with pain. Good luck and happy

holidays.

so I have been calling the doctors office cause one lady that I was talking to

on the phone screwed up and said she would ask the doctor for a temporary script

just until I see the doctor. I said, what in the world am I going to do if i run

out? this is too dangerous and on and on.

so now they called me back and told me to go get my blood work done and

supposedly he would do it. I have a hard time trusting but I need to do the

blood work any way so I will but damn it I have to fast and i hate doing that.

Friday I go for blood and I PRAY they get the results next week and he gives me

my meds. he put notes in saying that he put a rush on my referral for the pain

doctor. my insurance really isn't any help at all, but I guess it all depends

who picks up the phone cause some have been helpful.

Jennete, All,

You are SO RIGHT and it is common, that the Doctor does not have the

responsiblity to treat you but to refer you to a pain management doctor that

does. Most primary care doctors and internal medicine also refer you to

gynocologists, urologists,rheumotologists, gastroenterologists, allergists and

specialists as that is protocol even though they have been trained enough in

those areas to treat you.

So, , your neurologist and all other specialists are the same as pain

management Doctors and they are set up to deal with the auditing.

I have found a note stating how the Doctor has helped you is appreciated is so

welcome. My pain doctor is now doing laser and I saw how great her nurse looked

and said " Boy, I would like that " She said " Oh, Bennie, I didn't think you were

concerned with Beauty ! " We both laughed as that is not really what she meant

and she took me back and gave me free laser work on my dark spots and cracked

spots in the corner of my mouths.

I told her I used to be a model and she wants to see my pictures and I promised

: ) She is wonderful and treats me like I am human. She states " Do you remember

when I first saw you and I asked how are you walking because your hip muscles

were so tight ! " I now can bend over and she is great. I am glad that she

treats me like a human being.

I never thought of it like that. But, now that you say it, my pain doctors are

better than my internist, neurologist and even the orthopedist.

It takes some tweaking to get the right combo of meds that work.

Thanks for your perspective.
