When the cure is worse than the disease !

Physician induced disease  Arachnoiditis  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoiditis

As more and more pts are having trouble getting pain meds for their back pain.. they are turning to “pain docs”… some refer to them as “needle jockeys”.. their only solution is two-three different procedures … which epidurals is one..

This is where so many patients were harmed with Methylprednisolone compounded by New England Compounding Center.. that killed 60 odd pts and harmed some 700 pts from a product they produce and sold that was contaminated with a fungus.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_Compounding_Center_meningitis_outbreak

This is also the way that these “pain doc” can stay clear of any oversight from the DEA.. since few prescribe any opiates for their pts… and develop a  financially, a very  lucrative practice.

Is this basically “the reciprocal ” of the so called “pill mill ” ?

  1. Thank You for bringing this issue of Patient Harm to your web page..I suffer from Arachnoiditis that I got from a botched Epidural Injection. They are not FDA approved, nor are they safe..
