They’re cracking down on narcotic prescriptions up north as well:
“I can predict the net effect is (doctors) are going to tell even legitimate pain patients who aren’t at risk, ‘I’Â’m sorry, the college is looking over my shoulder, I can’Â’t prescribe this any more,’” Dr. Jovey said. The last provincial budget committed $300,000 to a review of pain management services across Nova Scotia.
The only pain management clinic in Nova Scotia has a 1,400 person waiting list, and 5-year delays for consultations. Ridiculous.
