[Dear Sandy, I am extremely grateful to this pain specilist. I fully realize that he is one of the rare breed, who put patients above the all mighty dollar. [I] have hugged him several times, mush to his embarasment. He also knew that my neck situation was terrible, from the x-ray during the placing of the katamine infussion. They can see where they are placing the infusion. He was the dr. who insisted I get further evaluation because it was so bad. So this dr. saved me twice, once from the pain, and then to make me better with surgery. He has trusted me, and not once will I ever abuse the meds he gives because I believe he understands the pain. My life is better because of two great drs. I hope everybody on this site can find the doctors who have both real people skills, and the ability to help with pain. I thank God daily, as I have read many posts where the doctors are in it for the bucks. If anyone is in fla. boy do I have a dr. to send you to! ginnie
