Hey Kathy,

It's not me in that pic. I understand about the "treatment shuffle." It can be agonizing. I personally know a lot of docs that will not write for narcotics period. Most of them have been burned in the past and do not want to jeopardize losing their medical licenses. I completely understand this thought process, as there is a multitude of drug seekers. This is why these docs usually refer out to another provider.
