1) 🧵 The "Consequences of Untreated Pain" can be profound.

They can result in #Disability & in some cases #Death

"•Inappropriately managed acute pain can result in immunological and neural changes, which can progress to chronic pain if untreated"

#PainSpeaking

[Emily Ullrich✊🏾✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿 @eullrich11]

When will we realize #PainManagement IS #healthcare? Untreated and undertreated #pain KILLS people, creates lifelong comorbidities (ex:High BP, stroke, compromised immune systems & more) and creates permanent neuropathways. Not to mention the horrible effects on quality of life.

@acnewsitics @JMahoffer The Great Con plans to cheat by changing the rules for mail in ballots ...now the mail won't be postdated until it is received at sorting facility thus a lot of the mail can be considered late/invalid.

@acnewsitics https://t.co/16wOKg9yPO Kenneth Chesebro, lawyer for Donald Trump’s campaign, pleaded guilty to illegally conspiring to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia, avoiding jail time and agreed to provide evidence that implicates other defendants, including Trump himself.

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.

It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.

@MikeNellis Did everyone forget trump promised his mass deportations would be “bloody?” The majority of white people knew he wasn’t targeting them so they lined up to vote for this shit. The ICE purge is masquerading as a war on immigrants —it’s really a war on Black and Brown Americans.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?

California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from covering their faces while conducting official business under a bill that was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. https://t.co/SPtS40RPg0

You know it's bad when the Attorney General of the United States gets community noted for lying.

@EM_RESUS There are several simple, yet critical skills everyone should learn: administer Narcan, perform CPR, apply a tourniquet, correctly perform the Heimlich maneuver.

Sad news out of Augusta County – they’re being forced to shutter three rural doctors’ offices in direct response to Republican Medicaid cuts.

This horrible law is going to devastate rural health care.

September is #PainAwarewness month

America is in the midst of a #PAINdemic and #discrimination
appears to have become the Standard of Practice when an individual presents for medical treatment when #pain is a component of their #Disability.

Despite the VA IOG report identifying nearly 3,000 severe staffing shortages, the @DonaldTrump administration is proposing to reduce staffing by 80,000.

The area with the most staffing shortages was identified as Mental Health.

@sandibachom My husband and I are 79. Here in TX our food stamps were cut drastically when we married and again after our SS cost of living raise. We also lost Medicaid because our combined income of about $1,800 a month puts us over the limit. As a result, we lost our good ins coverage.
