PHARMACIST STEVE

We met with Dr’s and Medtronics this morning with minor child..7 years old with Spinal Bipita and a few other issues. Child walks on all 4″s as her little spine is very crooked! (Poor Baby) Medtronics is willing to try a pain pump but needs to have a corporate meeting and have several discussions on plan of attack as Child has many bad spots in her spine. Child will start an opioid theropy program recommended by our own Steve Ariens RPH! I was really impressed with the hoops everyone seems to be jumping through all of a sudden. Child was taken to Observation Center and was monitored and Re-Checked before she is sent home!

Child’s mom text me about 20 minutes ago and said she was doing awesome and they will set up next appointment for February with Medtronics and myself!

I’m more surprised at this outcome more so than the first 2! We struggled on medication but Steve Ariens RPH is the man!  He finally broke the tie and the argument the 3 doctors were having  We obviously found a good combo with meds I never heard of and they seem to be working great! Yay  APDF is 3 for 3 with these children  So proud of my APDF team! 1 more to go next Wednesday (fingers crossed) 4 for 4 would be awesome 

American Pain and Disability Foundation is run entirely by VOLUNTEERS and funding is done by Donations.  Now in its THIRD YEAR,  volunteers are coming together in “small teams” to work for the improvement in the QOL of pain pts.  Each team with individuals with complimentary and synergistic talents and each team working on different areas to collectively address improving pain management for the pain community as a whole. There is no one “SILVER BULLET” or “MAGIC WAND” to get the community from here and now to that point in the future where sanity returns to the appropriate treatment of pain.
