It is true. My state of Fla. has a bunch of bad doctors, fake doctors who open clinics to a cash only business for drugs. It is in our news almost daily, that some clinic and doctor associated with it were arrested. Whatangers me even more is, the Good Pain Specialist like the one I have, is being pressured not to prescribe these much needed medications to legimate pain racked individuals. It makes it hard for these good doctors to practice because of what these bad clinic and bad doctors are doing.
I would take a test, and I sure abide to the letter for what my doctors tells me to do. I feel blessed that I found a legitimate excelent pain specialist. I never went to one of these bad clinics, nor ever considered it, you could tell anyway who they were, by the lines out the door. I got a referal from both my PCP and my neurosurgeon who to go to. I thank my God above I had good physicians in my life. Down here a few bad apples are spoiling the bunch. ginnie
