Congress is going to pass a measure to prevent "doctor shopping." they are doing it to "protect" us from doctor shopping and finding a doctor that will prescribe pain medication. It makes me angry.

We all have the right to be able to choose from an acceptable pool of primary health providers.

However, as a health professional, I do not believe in the unbridled ability to “jump ahead” and start going to specialists and sub specialists of our choosing.

For that, I’m a firm believer in receiving referrals to specialists.
