This is a very slippery slope when it comes to treating a disease such as CRPS. It could also mean that you have a hammer and nail kind of doc. He/she is the hammer and you are the nail. He/she has a particular vent on your treatment, whether it be motivated by money (i.e. expensive procedures like spinal coed stimulators that come with a long, revenue producing feeding chain i.e. sales reps), or a lack of interest in learning anything new or state of the art, or an uneasiness with partnership relationships in relation to his/her patients.

Hope this helps!
