Boy, I was just passing thru the posts and saw all the pain stuff. Unlike myself ,there are very few "pain docs" who not only do invasive work but also manage controlled drugs. I don't know why. I think REAL pain docs should do it all. Even I get PO'd at my so called colleges won't Rx or manage narcotics.
I'd be happy if time permits to offer suggestions on narcs, the law, when to be cautious, and how I deal with problem pts.
