Hello Dr.Smith,I am rocker Dan and i saw the question "Does your doctor hear you"and i wanted to say after 44 years of Doctors for pain(most were Neuros or G.Ps) as The pain clinics are semi new to me up until 2007.I have seen the looks and i can tell which ones are really listing and a couple who were the "Know it all"kinds!I am lucky to have a doctor who is my general age(56-60) and my Doctor even asks"where did you learn that?"and i am most Happy to let him know and as of late give him print outs of what i speak.So there really is a warm Happy feeling when someone who controls your pain along with yourself!I was about two years out of 5 with his P.A.s and one woman was great,and the younger high healed know it all was a true nightmare so i asked to bee seen again by the doctor who hears and asks about medications and how i arrived at what i think would benefit me better! Peace RD
