Hello all. I work in a smaller town (around 60,000) and my competition hospital just opened up a "walk in pain clinic". Yes, it is as bad as it sounds as I have reviewed some of the notes from this place. Without a ton of details it is mainly staffed by two FP docs and a PA. They see highly complex patients for 10-15 minutes and eventually write a ton of opioids. There is more to it of course but in the interest of time I will keep that part short. I personally have not seen any of these patients on my doorstep. However, a few PCP's that I work with called me Friday afternoon and are livid with this. They see these patients come back to their office and even they realize it isn't right. They are asking who they should complain to in the state? I guess that would be my question as well. Who should I refer them to with complaints regarding this practice? I don't know of anything illegal by any means but it is horrible medicine and all of this will eventually trickle down to myself and all the medications out there are only going to cause problems in this already plagued town. I recommended writing a letter to the hospital CEO to start with but probably sending the same letter to a state level. Anyways, any ideas would be appreciated.
