Doctors:
As the use of real science to deny ineffective, expensive, invasive morbidity enhancing procedures to the workers compensation population increases, I am seeing a greater number of certain marginal providers...."Pain Specialists", proceduralists, and "Semioticians" (those who specialize in treating symptoms) migrating to private insurers for their respective activities....They continue to practice their interesting and often refuted practices getting reimbursed through sources which are not as dedicated to science.
Think "Climategate"......now termed "Scientific Fascism"....no matter what your politics might be, we are all interested in learning the truth, however unpleasant it might be.
Our patients want us to do what we know to be best for them. In Orlando, you will learn of a new study (authored by Nguyen, Randolph, Talmage and Travis...four people you know) showing objective outcomes of lumbar fusion in a workers' comp population in Ohio. No more "VAS scores" or "Oswestry" outcomes.....You will learn what science says about "Pain management" and Opiates from University based medical scientists and practitioners.
Be ready when the curtain rises on act II of the nonsense out there. "Medical Sciencegate" is just starting. Maybe you and your colleagues should buy a ticket and see for yourselves...join us in Orlando
