What my Sub doctor did do was to refer me to a pain clinic. They called and I postponed an appt. because right now I don’t have any pain. My PCP was just trying to help me through the next few months of surgery and radiation therapy which is very painful. I may call them back later if need be.

The main problem I have with suing this doctor is that he is the best there is as far as head and neck disease. He is a teaching professor and the only one in Nevada who can operate the robotic arm for surgery. A great surgeon but lacking in bedside manner. You all know the type. A brainiac with not a great amount of social skills. He is the one you want to operate on you. Who cares about bedside manner if he saves your life?

Maybe I’ll just write a letter after this is all over and hope he’ll read it and treat the next Sub/Meth patient with care.

And Ironic, I was on a low dose of Sub, 1mg. The problem was the tolerance didn’t go down for over a week and by then the pain had subsided. This next one I’m stopping the Sub three days early and switching back to the Lortabs. I had one refill left of 30 and saved it for this occasion. Wish I had a weeks worth but a few days w/o Sub will help a little. And I am again at 1mg.
