hello my doctor was treating people for pain problems and general medical problems.he quit with no notice to his clinic and no notice to patients to give them time to get another doctor.this seems to be a clear cut case of dr abandonment.now myself and countless oyher patients are out of medications and dealing with pain medication here as i imagine anywhere is a tricky situation because so many people are abuseing pain meds.i have went to 6 doctors and they wont accept new patients who take pain meds there advice is go to the emergency room.i did go to the er and they gave me a shot of morphine to last 4-6 hours and a precription for 3 days worth of tylenol #3.they said in a er setting thats all they could do.i set up an appointment with pain management clinic but they dont take emergency
