We had a provider meeting this morning. I'm thinking this:
I'll talk to one of the pain specialists, and see if they would be willing to do a consult 4 times a year. I'm willing to write and monitor narcotics, just not make decisions on if and how much. I'll ask them to be hard nosed, and say "no" if they think narcotics are not the answer. Then they will not have their precious procedure schedule clogged, and I won't be left being manipulated. We will see if that works.
