Nathan,

Yes it would. I agree on one-stop shopping, if that is not offensive. As stated earlier, I send my patient to the pain doctor, he/she assesses the patient and comes up with this great plan such as PT and Motrin and follows up in one month. Then, I get a call eight days later with the patinet in tears who is either completely duping me or is in real pain. So, since I want to help and can't take calls from the patient all day, I give in and prescribe Percocet, Vicodin whatever. Then the pain doctor calls me and tells me I screwed up the whole plan!

Help.
