I think the doctor is actually caring. I mean for a pain doctor. He listens and he is trying to help.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is good for not self-medicating. It helped me.

If u would give me enough pain meds doc mabey I wouldn't drink

I would think they wouldn't want to perscribe pain meds for alchies.. ?

JUST GIVE ME SOME MORPHINE I,LL BE ON MY WAY, AAA MEETINGS GOT ME DRINKING MORE, LISTENING TO ALL THE SPEECHES....

Every doctor I've been too would have seen eight patients in the time these two have been together.

I'm going to see this doctor sit where we do

Anyone notice he has a slight English, possibly Australian accent? Strange considering it's minor to the point you can't tell where he's from.

I love joe these videos try to make the DR. Look like the hero even though he’s a wolf in a white coat.

What when a person has been clean and sober for years and have become Sick chronic knee and back pain with gall stones and pain every day so by having a pass mean they have suffer the pain or go back drinking and drugging to relieve because doctors want prescribe than anything

I like hows hes already planning on drinking with the medication to help stop drinking, he that wont make me sick if i drink with it? I had quit too, 1 because of all the meds im on. 2 is also drinking causes me more back pain and inflammation! I miss it" but once every few months i will have a few, but i feel better not drinking all the time, I hope the guy makes it, I know 25 yrs ago my dr wanted me too go to AA n NA, i did go to AA for a while, but i never believed in there medical view" that its a medical problem were born with, i never could believe that, thats like believing we are all from monkey's too?

Pain doctors in pain clinics Are NO WHERE NEAR THIS NICE!!!

The bedside manner of a bedpan, hehe. He is so dismissive - the guy cuts down and the doc says "ok, but not enough." How about yep its really difficult, well done for cutting down. You need to cut back more for your health, let me tell you about some options. And, looking up Acamprosate, the info sheet says it is not to be used with liver problems, why not tell your patient about this? What are DRs being taught!

He,s english

who is this doc, is he real. he looks like hes listening but he knows at the outset what he's going to say, the ""patient" is secondary to the thing the doctor is going to say. he lookd like hes hearing but i feel like he's hearing nothing and it all feels very patronising

I've drank 5 times total in the last month I don't have an alcohol problem

Yea Doc how many drinks did you have, you sh

Just actors

I’ll be afraid my doctor would say that but luckily Ritalin will be my best friend. Ritalin a day, will keep me away from the doctor

Sounds like this guy needs AA

this so fake

Actually, Doc, my drinking fills in your inability, unwillingness, accusations @ me about addiction , the 'opiate crisis,' and your desire to have me suffer - than to prescribe medication. My constant uncontrolled pain could possibly prevent me from participating in those things, such as physical therapy, that would actually reduce pain. Are there any legal issues with establishing a doctor/patient relationship, but then allowing your patient to endure long periods of pain? I would want all physicians to use 'due care,' but lumping all patients together, who have screwed this up, or physicians who are prosecuted for running pill mills; is equivalent to judging one person on their face or skin color, as all people in that race, or with that skin color. Wouldn't swifter action to treat pain avoid the psychological, physical, emotional, and addiction issues you are so concerned with? Here's the hypocrisy: I could live in a legal recreational marijuana State, purchase or obtain this product, and actually have more pain relief, with 80% less hoops to jump through. As a note, Doc, I rarely drink, I've never used marijuana in any form, not have I tried any illegal drug. Oh, by the way, I have Epilepsy, so you should be really concerned by pain being a seizure trigger, and lack of sleep, from pain, being another.
