pain mgmt?

i am writing this for mysister,whom has been being treated by a pain mgmt dr here in ohio.shes been seeing him for about a year now.the reason she started going to pain mgmt,was because this knife happy dr who has done like 4 different surgeries.on her right knee,knee replacements.shes been in and out of the hospital with blood infections.well im hoping i will get a responce back from someone.as to what she should do about what they have done to her.but ill finish.my nephew who is a pillhead,was comingover to visit myneice him and his wife,and 2 daughters,which was veryrare because they never visitedher in the past,he got word that she was being prescribed oxyconton 20 mgs.and would always come over,hintingaround in front of her,saying omg myback.this and that,well to make a longstoryshort,he asked her one day if she would sell him a couple.because hes got all this pain,my oppinion if hes in that much pain he needs to seek a doctor,well she told him she doesnt sell her pills.nor is she giving him or anybodyelse any,that they are prescribed to her,because of all the knee replacements this doctors done on her.well she was seeing 2 different doctors for 2 different reasons.the orthapedic doctor dr william seeds.ashtabula ohio.who was doing all these surgeries on her right knee.gave her a choice.now mind u this suggestion he or should i say choice he gave her in front of me.because i took her to that appt.to set up for her last surgerie.he showed her the last scan hes done on her knee,and what it lookedlike.which she didnt and still doesnt have a knee,he put medicine blocks there in replace of her knee.until her infection was gone.which hes the reason shes got this bad blood infection.from all the surgeries hes done on her knee.this appt was for her final surgery.and in front of me.she was given a veryhard decision to make.which i really couldnt answer for her,the doctors verylucky i kept mymouth shut.but he looks at her and says.now kim.u have 2 choices.1 we can go through with the final knee replacement or.2 we can amputate from your knee down.and not have to worry about anymore blood infections.i looked at my neice.which i call her my sister,because we grewup together.i said to her hunny.i know you will make the right decision.but if i dont walkout of this office and go outside.im gona make a scene.this doctor.who did all these surgeries on her right knee.from scraping.to putting cement blocks in her knee.to having being put in a nursinghome for a couple mths.and was suppose to do surgery on her knee.released her as his patient.because of the nephew i was talkingabout earlier in this posting.got mad at my neice.and called both her pain mgmt dr.and dr seeds the one who done all these unecesary surgeries.told them my neice was abusing her meds.saying she was selling her painmeds.which is a lie.she was in cleveland ohio the day the pain mgmt office called here.i was here,.and answered the telephone,they asked for my neice.and i told them shes in cleveland she went there with her friend to this case western reserve dental school to have a couple teeth pulled.she went with her to translate for her friend because she doesnt speak english.and i told them kim my sister is in cleveland.and they had rode one of them transit buses there.they are for low income.and i told his secretary,i dont know when she will be back.the buses run at different schedules.she was really rude.and said to me.well you need to somehow get a hold of your neice.and tell her to call pain mgmt.a.s.a.p i told her ok.i will call her now.so i got off the phone called myneice on her cell.and told that her pain mgmt office called and said they needed to speak to her as soon as possible.so she told shes gona call them.and then call me back.well 20 mins had passed.she finally called me back.and was crying.i asked her what was wrong,she said the secretary told her shes got 45 mins to get to the office.or they was gonna no longer prescribe her pain meds.she did manage to make it back there.was about 10 mins.later than what they asked.she went to the office with her medicine bottle.walkedup to the drs nurse.the nurse looked at her and said,you are too late.the dr gave me this to give to you.it was a paper stating he will no longer.prescribe her painmeds.because she failed to come in for a pill count and urine test.she had her pill bottle with her.with all the pills.and the secretary told her,.i told you to be here in 45 mins.and you wasnt.myneice said its not myfault.and tryed to explain to the witch,that it was out of her hands.the b---ch wouldnt listen to her.and gave told her to leave,well the dr that did all these surgeries on her right knee is also in the same building.and also let her go.him and the pain mgmt dr are offiliated.so she has no doctor to do her knee surgery.they both made her lookout to be some bigtime drugdealer.and shes gonna have a hardtime now trying to find another pain mgmt dr for her. knee.and her surgery.because.the nephew called both doctors.mind you this doctor im talkingabout,dr william seeds.and i will post it all over the internet some really bad things about him.because,she has sepsis.and no doctor.i hope to get a response from someone as to if theres something she can do about this thank you

Hi:

What has happened to your Sister is a real shame. Like Tuck said, your Sister must start the hunt for a new Doctor immediately. I realize that it's too late now but your Sister should have had the nurse do a count right there in front of her and sign a letter stating that all her pill were there. It would have made it easier for the new Doctor to believe her.

Good Pain Management Doctors are hard to come by but I'm sure that she will find one. Do a Google search, the web is full of information for new Doctors.

I really hope that the two of you get rid of this guy causing you so much mental anguish. DO NOT ever give him information regarding your Sisters health or who she is seeing.

Please take care and good luck.

I am sorry to here about your Aunt. I know that PMP can be very strict. I beleive that you must sign a contract that gives them the right to demand you be in the clinic in on short notice with your medication(s).

I suggest that she begin her search immediately for another PMP and a surgeon. As far as anything else I would guess that if she can prove that this nephew was the one who made the false accusations she may want to seek legal advice. Certainly it is illegal to sell narcotics but also illegal to purchase them.  

Good luck to you and your aunt,
Take Care,
Tuck
