AB  - Physicians  involved  in  pain  management  should  be  aware  that  there  are  many  legal  issues  involved  in  the  practice  of  pain  management.  Some  patients  who  present  to  pain  management  centers  may  be  involved  in  litigation  or  compensation  cases.  The  impact  of  these  issues  on  patient  outcome  is  controversial.  Patients  with  pain  often  are  labeled  “difficult”  because  of  their  responses  to  the  stress  of  their  pain.  Furthermore,  there  is  a  widespread  perception  that  anesthesiologists  working  in  pain  management  centers  are  at  a  greater  risk  of  being  sued  for  malpractice  than  those  working  in  the  traditional  operating  room  setting.
