I suspect the issue here surrounds "pain management" issues. There is no "abandonment" when you have the ability to get care elsewhere. NOW, if you can't get people to keep doling out opiates or other pain meds, thats not the same as can't find a doctor anywhere, as there are hundreds of qualified medciare/medicaid doctors available.
