Summary
- Decided solo practice got lonely, so joined a 7 member PMR group in Long Beach, love living in Rancho Palos Verdes and seeing patients of all walks, we each have our subspecialty area, lots of support and fun, we cover a dozen facilities spread out from Tustin to Long Beach, Torrance, Pomona, Seal Beach and adding more each day. After Personal Injury for 4 years, what fun to do Trauma Center ICU consults, back to motor movement disorders, brain injury and spinal cord after care, and still mostly complex pain disorders. Check out www.drrinzler.com or take a look at www.mynewcure.com to see what's cooking. Complex pain is moving away from dependence producing drugs and forcing a pioneer into restorative and "Natural" healing,and discovering electroceuticals instead of pharmaceuticals. The science is solid, the FDA approved it, now I have to convince my colleagues to rethink the dogma that Bhagavan and Guillory gave us. There's thousands or more neurotransmitters, not 6, sorry to complicate thinks. I love these transcranial devices, wouldn't know how to treat addiction medicine, secondary suffering due to chronic pain, if I could I'd devote all my energy to this new landscape, beats hardcore fusions, destabilizing wide decompressions, and sending the message that residual pain is somehow the patient's fault. Fatigue, chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, depression, PTSD, this should be first line, and slowly we're penetrating the politically to the right of Attila the Hun medical community. Pioneer the future! Find new ways, innovate, rethink and create!!
