Patient
Unfortunately I had to find a new PCP when I got Medicare, as the provider I saw for many years does not take it. I waited no less than two and a half months to get an appointment with Dr. Lawlor, only to discover that the quality of my life is not nearly as critical to this provider as her effort to get me off the only medication that makes my life barely livable, as a person with severe, relentless pain from osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Most days, it's a real chore to find a reason to keep living the pain is so deep. Beware. This doctor doesn't care. She just wants to follow cdc guidelines to get you off narcotic pain meds -- an effort that has resulted in a war against responsible pain patients, not street users who abuse illegal drugs. We are not the reason for the opiod misuse problem in this country, just those who suffer as an "unintended consequence."
