I found a pain man. doc!...

[Guest guest]

I got a call today from the nutty receptionist that gave me too much info the

other day in telling me how dangerous cp is and that I could die from it. Her

mother had died from it etc. Anyway, her doc's program was mainly nerve

blocks etc. He didn't do pain meds so much. So the doc called me today and he

referred me to a Dr. Pam Salazar in Augusta, GA.

I called her office and they sounded great. Her receptionist was very

informative and said that the doc didn't do the nerve blocks etc. for cp

patients

she sent them to an anesthesia doc for that and she dealt mainly with helping

patients with their pain meds and keeping their pain under control. That is what

I was looking for, so that I can get my pain meds from one doc. I am really

excited about getting to meet her. I think she is an answer to prayer! I am

going to see her on August 4th. If she is anything like the way her receptionist

described her she sounds like my kind of doc. And, I didn't need a referral

from a doc she just wants the post op surgery notes etc. from Dr. Adam's. She

said if I had already been through all of that she didn't need them to call me

and try to get an appt. they would get that info from them and that was

referral enough.

So wish me luck! I hope this is the right one for me! It would be so nice to

find the right one on the first try! We all know what a nightmare it is to try

and educate docs on cp and pain management for our condition without sounding

like a drug addict!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!
