We have both here. PMD's and Anesteolgist. The Anesteologist I see is only that. He has a small hospital of his own that he goes to after leaving the hospital and does the blocks.

We have PM Drs here in my area that won't even do blocks on RSD patients. The ones in U of Co. never offered me blocks. I saw 3 more that never did.

We do have both here though and they are different. In the group I had belonged to, none of them had even had a block. I had by that time and talked a couple in to having them done.

I have a friend who went to see this one idiot PM Dr. that I saw and has a bad rep. around here. In one month, he diagnosed her with RSD, did one block to see if it would work and stuck the SCS in her. She is now having it taken out. I think the PM Drs. are doing blocks now but the ones we have in our area, I have not seen a lot of good come from.
