Of course, the issue is that the patient feels invalidated. The pain management doctors do not ask how you're doing (and if they do, they're not interested in the answer), They don't ask, "Tell me about your pain" or "What has helped your pain in the past?" or "What can I do to help you?"
Instead, decisions are divorced from the account of the patient to the god-like grip on an hammer as he slams down his orders without even caring for whom those orders were for in the first place.
They don't even see faces, they just see a diagnosis, and even that is often times boring to them. Shouldn't a patients' feelings and opinion matter when the doctor doles out treatment?
