Hi All,
Currently resident looking into pain and have been seeing a lot of posts about the current state of pain- slashed reimbursement, saturation in desirable cities, etc. I also have seen a lot about anesthesiologists flocking back to the OR give the insanity of their job prospects atm.
As many of these things work sort of sinusoidally, my question is- do we think pain will come back around?
Is there a future where older pain docs get fed up with slashed reimbursements and retire en masse? I know many of the pain fellowship spots are going unfilled, is this setting up for a big supply and demand gap? Will pay/reimbursement reflect this potential need?
TIA for the insight!!
