With all the media coverage lately about OPs, and now the Bush escalation on the bogus war on drugs (read the war on chronic pain patients), I am curious as to the level of comfort of the OP representatives who post on here. In other words, Woody's, YOD, EVMG, NWW provide these services to CP and anxiety patients. Are they even the least bit concerned about getting caught up in this war?

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the future of domestic, records and phone consult required OPs. Are the representatives of these OPs concerned?

It seems to be that it's time to search and search for a local pain management doctor who will not be afraid to prescribe the medications I need for my condition. I am asking the OPs to be honest and tell me if I should start the search. You all must have your fingers on the pulse of how things are going. If you don't, you should. So can you all enlighten us a bit? I find it odd that these news stories are posted on here and not one of you, with the exception of Woodys posting about their troubles, is contributing to the threads. Why is that?
