my dr. sent me to pain management today and the doctor examined me today and told me he couldnt fill my pain pills cause he didnt think i had AS!!! he pushed a few spots on my body and asked me if it hurt and at this present time NO it didnt hurt. and then he told me that he has had patients with AS and their spot he checked on them was tender. ALL THIS GARBAGE IVE DONE LIVE THOUGH AND HE HAD THE NERVE TO BASICLY CALL ME A LIAR?? oh man that mad me so mad when i walk out of there i was shaking. he asked me who told me i had AS and i told him my rhuemy told me this and to call her if he needed verification and he said with a smartelic tone "oh, i will!" i gave him her number, fax number the dates i was in her office, meds i was on. oh i only DREAM i didnt have this mess!! one day when my spine fuses, im gonna look him up and tell him to take an x-ray of my spine and then ask him "well doc if i dont have AS, can you tell me what the hell caused this?? HMMMMM???

P.S. You should report him to the state medical board for working outside his area of expertise!

Sheesh man - This guy is way out of his league... Needs to be handled with a Strong arm. Start with a report to the medical board. Then take onwards from there. You need recompense at the very least!
He sure don't know where it is happening from and suggest also he takes a TOTAL refresh course, starting with 'not knocking another's doctor's DX'... He is *pain management* NOT a flippin rheumy.
This guy needs serious education, both medical and in patient handling. A definite report is called for - in order to: protect others from his ineptness, utter ignorance and abysmal ineptitude.
Yours in TOTAL disgust from France - where we have likewise idiots...

Better you than me, Bro'-- I'd be in jail about now.
The jerk must have some kind of direct supervisor. He should be run up the flagpole ASAP to see who cheers.

yeah, really! Aren't pain management doctors supposed to facilitate the orders of your rheumy or primary doctors that sent you to them, NOT self-appoint themselves as King Supreme Judges Of All Things Medical something wrong here, I would think that the doctor who sent you to pain management in the first place would be ticked off too, I'd contact them and tell them what happened, and take it from there My guess would be that the pain management doctor is feeling pressure from an insurance company to keep costs down, using any bogus reason possible, and hoping you won't put up a fuss, I hope you will!

Hey Jeff,
Sorry you had to go through that appointment. Doctors are not always the best listeners.
Hopefully he can get some sense.
