It seems strange that a new doctor would attempt to state the reason for chronic pain given the patient has lived with it for some 20 years and spoken with many specialists who are true specialists in the area and read every piece of published medical literature. This while readily admitting to not having experience with ANY patients with this confirmed diagnosis. These "pain clinics" (as such) are costing the insurance companies tons of money and causing patients considerable time, effort, and money w/o offering effective management. Clearly the guidelines as established in maine for treatment is NOT BEING ADHEARED TO (please take time to read this guideline). It is a mandate that has doctors running scared and one that leaves patients without adequate treatment. Patient care should be left to the medical community without having a rope around the doctors neck for concern for loss of their license or the piece that allows them to write scripts for necessary pain meds. Government involvement needs to stop and the doors to "pain clincs" CLOSED. Good doctors have turned evil out of fear and patients left in pain over the concern for a medicine that may have addictive properties but causes no harm or fewer problems to the body then that of over the counter medicines. It seems the government would prefer liver and kidney damage via maximal dosing with over the counter drugs to that of prescribing more adequate pain control using "controlled drugs". It is a travesty to ALL PARTIES! People who require pain control are treated like criminals, no matter the age, no matter the medical condition. I shame the doctors taking part in all this. Doctor patient relationships are being harmed as there is no trust, no concern other than that of their own liability/sanctions. Blame goes out to the regulatory bodies - GOVERNMENT FOR PUTTING ALL THIS IN PLACE AND THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN.
