KAISER CHRONIC PAIN - PAIN MANAGEMENT STORIES

Kaiser tells local woman to 'live with the pain'

Friday, May 07, 2010

By Scott Thomas Anderson (sanderson@ledger-dispatch.com)

Linda Coulter is in agonizing discomfort every day.

The Ione woman fears she will soon lose both of her legs if she's not treated with Micro vas - Neuro vasix technology. However, that scenario has grown bleak lately, as Coulter has been drawn into an ongoing conflict with her health care provider, Kaiser Permanente, about the nature of her diagnosis.

I found that my HMO in Washington State (Kaiser) had told their
doctor to increase their "Patients Per Day" to 110 from 90. 


Patient: Paula Ducas Aug 9 2002
Dr. Hochman, I don't know if you will be able to help me, but you look like the best hope I have. 

Dr. Hochman,
I am in pain and need help.  I am a patient and employee of Kaiser Permanete but cannot find a
doctor who honors his oath and will properly and effectively treat my pain. 

Dear Mr. Greenly,
I am a 61 year old woman who has reached the point where I don’t know what to do about the pain Im living with. So Im writing to you to see if you can help.

Attn: Mr. Tom Greenly
In 1983 I was physically struck by an uninsured motorist’s car. Since then I have had lots of Physical Therapy, been on Codine, Darvon, Darvecet 100 & have been on Vicodin/Lortab 5/500 two tablets 4 times daily to date. The doctors at Kaiser keep refusing to give me a triple script pain killer. I have a herniated disc L4/5 & a cervical herniated disc; degenerative spinal disease below L-5; degenerative disease the AC cup area of my left shoulder; both legs ache from the knee down; arthritis in right knee; fibromyalsia - my muscles hurt so badly...
