  7. Two Big Questions For Pain Experts

    SocratesJohnson replied to SocratesJohnson's topic in Pain Management

  8. Two Big Questions For Pain Experts

    SocratesJohnson replied to SocratesJohnson's topic in Pain Management

  12. Two Big Questions For Pain Experts

    SocratesJohnson replied to SocratesJohnson's topic in Pain Management

  16. Two Big Questions For Pain Experts

    SocratesJohnson replied to SocratesJohnson's topic in Pain Management

    I don't do that. I gave two examples that actually happened. So you're saying that the patient's pain ISN'T always what they say it is? That wasn't an option. O.K......Would you give more...

  17. Two Big Questions For Pain Experts

    SocratesJohnson replied to SocratesJohnson's topic in Pain Management

    The assessments are extremely simple....1. A smiling patient saying that he's going to say that his pain is a 10 because he likes pain medicine. He's had 4 mg of Dilauded. What do you think? 2. A...

  21. Pain Management Experts Have Caused A Lot Of Addiction

    SocratesJohnson replied to SocratesJohnson's topic in Pain Management

    I might as well discuss the poetic/philosophical aspects of dependence on opioids. I've met many patients (not most patients by any stretch) who think about taking opioids to the exclusion of, what I...
