Thank you.
I have to agree with you 100%. "Pain mangement" in my expereince doesn't really mean much. Just another doc with a fancy shingle to hang on the wall. The few I have had are not willing or able to take the time to actually manage my pain, let alone actually diagnose it. That would take too much time. They have only that ten to fifteen minute to greet, look at my chart, try to remember who you are, and then say "Make a new appointment at the window". My current pain doc has so many patients waiting in ten or twelve different rooms, I'm amazed he can spend ten minutes with me. I guess the Medicare allowance for dozens of patients adds up in the long run.
@seniorlady7 What you say about healthcare today is so true...and so sad. And we, the patients, suffer (and even die) because of it.
And you are right...there are some good docs out there. I have been blessed to have been treated by a few. But they definitely are few and far between. So good luck trying to find a really good one!
