The doctors have so much pressure from above not to prescribe anything for pain so they don't believe their patients, say we're being a baby or a drug seeker. They no longer stand up for their patients. They would know right away if someone was a drug seeker if they were educated to know what that behavior looks like. But no one is teaching that properly in medical school. It as obvious as the nose on your face if you've been trained in it or if you've seen drug-seeking behaviors in your own family. And there's a huge difference between what that looks like and what being in pain and needing help looks like. There's no excuse for a medical professional not listen to their patient. It's basically torture. There's no excuse for under treating a patient in pain or not believing your patient. Why would you go into the medical profession unless you had compassion and empathy? Didn't you do it because you care about helping people? If you don't have empathy you have no business being in healthcare. I'm sorry for what you're going through with your pain. I believe you 100%. There are people everywhere this is happening to; you are not alone. It's so sad the way things have gotten these days. I found a group on Facebook that rallies and speaks with our legislators about mistreatment of chronic pain patients. I'm praying that the government will start listening to us. Addicts get handed anything they want on a silver platter. Chronic pain patients get treated like an animal up for slaughter.
