I just had a 45 minute consult with a PM [pain management] MD. He told me as long as
there were no "safety" issues, he'll give me what I ask for (within
reason). The last thing you want to do is fly off the handle. They
could have been "testing" him.

1) Not sure why they would be "testing him" -- or even what you mean by
that.

2) From his post, it -appears-, for whatever reason, he had a falling
out with his PM clinic.

3) It's fine that YOU have a good working relationship with YOUR pm doc
in liberal California, but I would respectfully suggest that this is
meaningless when applied to Lare and HIS doc in ultra-conservative Holland.
