@ChrisNeuen They don't really do infectious disease either. When Salmonella poisoning was in PB this May, FDA reported it. CDC glorified re-reporting agency. Elected coroners don't always understand tox screens, but write death cert. CDC MMR reports come from where? States' HHS. Re-reported.
@KarenPercy1 @RyanMarino Similar % quoted for when they decided to reduce the legal supply of pain meds. Other countries 🚫 count their refills as mulitple Rx's like the US. This slight of hand has caused a pain crisis + overdose crisis + supply crisis + faux moral panic over false inflated %.
1) Again, this isn’t just about better pain care. The CDC in charge of the one program that’s supposed to find continuity of care for abandoned CPP’s admitted they know there are minimum of hundreds of thousands if not millions of abandoned CPP’s in this country due to
@ibdgirl76 If CDC agency researched the overdoses (mis)reported; recommendations made would = syringe Xchange/harm rdxn, GCMS cause of death tests, etc. Not push 1 med care over others, or targeting pain relief that sick people need, doctors, & 4th Amendment violations. #eugenics
@pain_lyn Sleep deprivation and pain..pure hell. What no one understands is how awful it is every 5 mins you get pulled under into sleep by sheer exhaustion and woken 2 secs later by pain. 8hrs of that or however long until you give up
Nights like this are the definition of torture.
@DanLairdMD Has anyone read Ceremonial Chemistry? Apparently psychology co-oped the church's stance on medications and substances, which would explain so much.
@laurasweeneypsy @JDaviesPhD In a similar vein, I strongly suggest Dr. Thomas Szasz's "Ceremonial Chemistry". Brilliant work on how the religions of yesterday were copied by the mental health industry. Eye opening.
@ibdgirl76 Females have only been included in research to a decent degree since 2013 here, but only certain age groups. In a country w/ longer work hours, less medical access, longer DX times, shorter lunch breaks, worse food quality, least time off after birth, etc., etc.
@eileendove910 No doubt made worse w/ OTC purchased UDS to save $, instead of CLIA waived ones. Then, there's the issue these UDS aren't produced for these specific uses, QC'd properly, and office may have 0 lab training due to decrease in availability of the current lab/medical workforce...
These drug tests determine whether kids get taken from their parents, whether parolees have to go back to prison, etc. What you might not expect is that, if you are prescribed opioids and your doctor uses UA to test for compliance, you can lose access to pain treatments as well.
@AdamGentry2021 Worried that NM letters may get ignored until the fires are under control, although CA FF's have said they aren't treated beyond sustained injury on the job, and can see that happening here...
@ronchapman@CMerandi@DoctorsofC@LynnRWebsterMD Anyone can order a UDS, but not anyone can interpret one. Metabolism, metabolites, liver and kidney function affect these results. See 'Opioid Metabolism' Mayo Clin Proc, 2009 Jul; 84(7): 613-624 and references. Ann Clin Lab Sci, Autumn 2007 vol 37(4): 301-314 and it's references
Management of chronic non-cancer pain:
a framework (Steven E Nadeau MD and Richard A Lawhern PhD): 10,000 words and 200 references to debunk and redirect the CDC opioid guidelines.
