Minimally Invasive Treatments for Pain Sufferers
Georgiy Brusovanik, M.D., of Miami Back & Neck Specialists in Florida, who offers minimally invasive treatments for pain sufferers, says patients sometimes come in on significant amounts of pain drugs because they are in severe pain, and to refuse them treatment on that basis would be to “deny patients who are on narcotics proper care.”
“As a revision specialist, I’m the last resort for patients who’ve had bad outcomes after surgery,” Brusovanik says. “Denying these patients care while they’re on narcotics is essentially condemning them to having pain forever.” Brusovanik stresses that pain and its treatment (or maltreatment) can lead to increased tolerance and dependence. “One of my old orthopedic attendings had an ankle fracture,” he says. “This person knew the side effects of opioids, and yet this person ended up stealing narcotics from patients and then committing suicide. I’m not in a position to tell my patients to go home and sleep it off.”
