Pain Management and Dr. Erickson
The Pain Management Group , located at 5801 Crossings Blvd , Antioch TN 37013 is a pain clinic that you should think twice about going to for pain management. I'll give you 3 reasons.
1 - Their MRI machine is ass old ass the hills. The heads sound like they are going to fly off at any second. While in the machine , it feels like being in an earthquake. AND , no , the doctors don't care if it is hurting you. Just shut up and take the pain. Hey , we are pain management , that's why you are here. Also , after the MRI , there's no one to read your film. This gets sent off to another galaxy where those people can't read MRI films either. Meanwhile , your films get lost , and pain management gets to do another MRI. Which means you get another ride on the Earthquake . This is much more fun than Opryland's Floom Zoom , and more painful. One more item of interest , their MRI can not show a ruptured disc. Yep , it's that old. Note - just because a doctor here orders a MRI for you , does not mean you have to be on their machine , butt , they are'nt going to tell you that , since Pain Management wants the useage fees for using their in house MRI machine.
2 - Dr Erickson is a pain management doctor. He does'nt know anything about RSD and does'nt even understand pain management. He's gaining a reputation for jerking people's minds off Oxycontin cold turkey with no regards for withdrawal therapy. Remember , that's not his problem. After all , HE is the doctor. It's sad to say it , his practice is over loaded with complaints . He is not even certified. That's how hard up Pain Management is to find a doctor. Mean while , Dr. Erickson is finding any excuse to discharge patients in an attempt to decrease his patient complaint load. He has even discharged people for narcotics violations for taking a analgesic. Are you seeing a picture here? Also . keep in mind , a doctor can get the patient hooked on drugs , with no responsibility or regards to drug rehab needs.
3 - For those wondering , yes , this is the place Dr. Long established. Yes , he is the drug crazed , gun toting maniac who lost his liscence and practice for pulling his gun on an employee.
4 - OK , I said 3 reasons , I'll give you 4. If you need a MRI , I highly recommend Vanderbilt at Cool Springs. You have your films at the time of leaving and you can take those to any doctor and/or to get a second opinion. Those films go where ever you go. Pretty neat huh ?
Note : If you need a pain doctor , Nashville does have several good ones.
