It really depends on where you live in some states docs are really conservative. fortunatly I live in that infamous state Fl, every one remembers Rush Limbaugh! And all of the doctors arrested for selling scripts, dispite all of this my doc still writes for whatever his patients need depending on their condition. I have been through surgery and pm docs and anymore when i find a doctor being rude or outright lying about treatments I tell them. I haven't run into many doctors like that b/c I usually bring 3 MRI reports CT scans and documetation from my surgery and medication history with me. It also helps to dress well and present yourself well, I can not believe how some people look walking into the doctors office even though I am in pain I try to look good doctors will judge you on how you look. But so does every one else whats new!
