The patient abadonment protection is to provide one month medication and allow you to find a different treating doctor.
IF this guy thinks that 15 vicodin are drug seeking he is absolutly the wrong philosphy to treat you.

Check in the phone book for pain managemnt clinics, and doctos....not the ones that just short term give Epidurals or trigger points, but one that treats patients like MS and CP.

It takes a while, keep searching,
