Dana Hampton, a former patient of Rinova Pain Clinics that was abandoned when her clinic in Clarksville shut down suddenly last month, holds in her hands what could be her last supply of medication at the Hampton household in Cerulean, KY., on Monday, June 3, 2019. With a dwindling supply of pain medication and no way to access her medical records, getting a new pain doctor will be challenging. "We're tired of having to start over," Hampton said about being stuck needing to get new doctors. "This isn't about opioid abusers," she said. "It's about patients abandoned by doctors." Hampton said she may need to start rationing the supply while she and her husband look for a new doctor. Hpt Dana Hampton Rinova Clinic 03
