From: MSN Nicknametoughhummingbird  in response to Message 2Sent: 2/17/2007 4:29 AM
I am in the process of firing my "pain doctor." It is so difficult to get in to a new pain doctor in our area because your old doctor has to refer you to the new doctor so it's a delicate game of "don't piss off the old doctor to get to the new one."

I appreciate the letter to TABs. I'll use it soon, I'm sure. Not only with my husband but with others who do not understand my situation.

I really wish that somewhere besides California actually had a Pain Patients Bill of Rights as part of the law. Neither the doctor can get in trouble for giving you what you need for your pain in the proper doses nor can the patient for seeking it out. I was out there for a week and saw one of the preeminent pain doctors in the U.S. and he gave me all of the meds I needed to take care of my pain, bring my pulse rate down to where it should be, and enable me to have a decent vacation with my husband and our friends we were visiting. Every state needs the same law on the books.

Thanks everyone!

THB
