PainWeek was an amazing gathering of 2000 medical professionals with an interest in pain management, but I couldn't find one Mohave County physician was listed as attending.
You would think physicians like those in Kingman, BHC, and LHC who treat pain but are not board certified in pain management, would take any opportunity they have to get the latest training.
Far too many physicians in Arizona hang out signs saying "pain management" "pain specialist" or "pain institute" that make patients believe the physician is actually a pain specialist... They're Not.
Arizona needs a law that requires any physician who hangs out a shingle saying "pain management" "pain specialist" or "pain institute" actually be a board certified in pain management.
Until pain patients contact their legislators and tell their stories, nothing will change...
