First of all, I’m extremely sorry that you’re in such great pain. Chronic pain is really hard to deal with.
I do feel that I should caution you that your claim could be construed as defamatory. If the doctor concerned really had only a three-year degree, then they would indeed not be qualified to practice at all.
However, from the clinic’s website, I see that this is far from the case. She is well-qualified and very experienced. (I will copy this below.) You may have been looking at the certificate from her post grad residency in internal medicine in NY. I would strongly suggest that you remove at least this part of your claim.
As to the pain medicine, we don’t always like how a doctor practices. I myself have changed doctors often, for various reasons. Doctors know far more about pain management and addiction and now try to wean patients off harmful or unnecessary medicines. I know a man now who is following his doctor’s recommendation for getting off opioids and onto less harmful medication after several years.
I can only suggest that you ask to be referred to a pain management clinic and if you feel that you really received sub-standard care, file a complaint directly with the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners
