Ruth has done nothing but treat me like a drug seeking criminal. (Even though i have never asked outright for narcotics) She does not care about the REAL pain I live with. She is a "pain management" specialist who has done NOTHING to "manage" my pain! She waisted several months of my time not ordering tests or doing anything to find out what was causing my pain. At every appointment, all she ever did was tell me "im not prescribing you narcotics", and sent me away. (Again, I never asked for them)I only wanted her to find out what was causing my pain so that I could get the right treatment for it. Not simply "cover" it with pain meds! Now that I do have a diagnosis (I had to see a different specialist to obtain this), and ruth KNOWS what I have and that I am receiving treatment for it, I need meds to get the pain under control so I can function normally untill my condition is better controlled with the treatments, she refuses to give me anything for relief narcotic or not. Just NOTHING
