Americans have known for quite some time that some pain practitioners make themselves rich through practicing pain management. Financial deals are in some cases channeled through drug companies in which pain physicians make enormous kickbacks for prescribing certain drugs, while in other instances; the referring physicians receive kickbacks for pain clinic referrals from them, as well as from outpatient surgery clinics who give kickbacks to pain doctors who bring patients to their facilities for medically unnecessary injections. Physicians are like the rest of us in that they avoid overtly criminal or publicly embarrassing behavior. Instead of stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer, these doctors' stuff the money into family members' bank accounts. The alliance of physicians and their staff members with pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies, surgery centers and other physicians is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. Certainly, there have been occasional examples that were considered scandalous behavior in the past. You will obtain some knowledge about a portion of this behavior. As a When you or any other person seeks health care as a patient in a pain treatment clinic, you undoubtedly believe that everyone involved in the pain clinic is focused on you, is alert, caring, and is somewhat competent, and when they do procedures on you, that they know exactly what they are doing. Most pain patients furthermore have the expectation that their health-care providers are people of uprightness, and if one of the pain clinic providers makes a serious mistake which harms a patient, that particular pain provider would be straightforward about the harm that he or she caused that patient. However, this is not always the case, particularly when one is "treated" in the disreputable Stygian pain center where some patients are intentionally harmed, are given potentially injurious procedures by untrained doctors and where some patients do not survive while others are tortured and sexually and physically abused before they are given massive amounts of drugs and are eventually slaughtered like livestock by the sadistic staff. To make matters worse, most of the sufferers are left with no recourse. With very few concessions, the most dangerous doctors continue to practice pain medicine in a protected environment.
