4. You must be willing to pursue continuing treatment, mmj can't be the only thing you seek. You must be willing to try the meds, injections, physical therapy.....
5. You must be professional. Sorry, but face tattoos and mohawks, or rapper jeans below the ass and a big gold chain will be turned down for the card. At least look professional at the doc's.

My doctor is a pain management specialist in rhode island. He is extremely laid back, very attentive, and genuinely good at his job. I have sent five ppl to see him, and three have been approved for the card on the spot(bring the paper with you please!). one didn't qualify as chronic pain, the other has to go through more thorough treatment before obtaining that ever elusive signature. That said, it is a small office, and there are often waits of over two hours after your appointment. Please use this forum's email system to mail me with your specifics. only then will i give up the name. you don't have to give me any personal info, just the nature of your pain and the course of treatment you have taken already. thanks, i hope i can help many!
i have RA, Hep C(but not taking any treatment right now) and i have Degenerative Disc Disease in my back. right now on 100 (750mg) Hydrocodone every 25 days, and not working. I am in consent pain. Do you think the Dr. would see me? Be waiting to hear from you. Plz get back as soon as you can. Thank you for your help.
