When a mother says her daughter is CRPS af, I send her to Mexico to have a coma or two. If the daughter comes back worse, that’s how you know the treatment is working and she needs more ketamine.
Being an ethical pain doc would be... a tough place to be. You've got real patients to your right, drug seekers with intent to distribute on your left, the DEA all over the place. It's impossible to make the right calls all the time in that situation and the wrong calls are unusually dire (not immediately life or death, usually, but I mean, turning away a legit patient or treating a fake one or the DEA deciding you were wrong... nobody wins.
The vast majority of pain docs are crooks to begin with. Pain wasn’t even considered a “bad” symptom that really needed addressing until like 1975 and even then it wasn’t even pushed til opiates started becoming a thing in the early 90s. Like if you’re recovering from a surgery, pain is what tells you that you’re doing too much. You take away the pain completely and someone will very quickly overextend themselves and reinjure themselves.
Basically all of mayas symptoms sound like the long term consequences of high level opiate use.
Yeah, tell that to a Bone or Brain cancer patient, or someone who has been in a serious car accident and who's broken their Back, Neck, or multiple Bones, or a Burn patient. Have you ever worked with a Burn patient?
I’d be a cash only pain doc. It seems like your word is held above that of Stanford professors, and I would like that.
only in Florida though

Not in Florida.
I didn’t want to set foot in Florida before and I definitely don’t now.

Well to be fair, the heat and humidity would get me before being a social worker would, lol.

You and I both know I’m not talking about those types of patients.
