    • Unfortunately, Mary, it’s true. I know of one lady in one of the Facebook chronic pain groups who has been forced to go to the local Methadone clinic more than a few times because she can’t find a doctor to treat her pain. She lives in Washington if I remember correctly. Another lady just received a letter from her pain management clinic “introducing” a new doctor, who prescribes Suboxone, and will be working in the clinic. (I’m not surprised about pain management and medical school. Sad and scary, but I can’t say I’m surprised).
