My opinion is the PCP should wright the scripts, orders from Pain Management. This would save time and money for many people. My wife never sees her PCP because she's worthless, doesn't understand RSD. If she was a good PCP for my wife she would learn about RSD but many don't but should. How can someone even be called primary care doc if they aren't? Insurance company mumbo jumbo really.
