The crisis of untreated and undertreated pain is one of the most tragic things happening in America right now.
The sick, injured, and elderly are the targets.
As are any providers who dare practice individualized, patient centered care.

@SenRickScott why doesn't anyone in your 10 offices answer the phone? Can't leave a message either because the call goes to voicemail before I can say my name. Millions of dollars at tax payers expense.
The black market doesn’t have shortages.
The pharmacy does.
The black market doesn’t have prior authorizations.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨: The Governor of New Mexico has called for a criminal investigation into the DEA for allowing "staggering amounts" of illicit fentanyl to "hit the streets" of Albuquerque (see https://t.co/PtsUnbyRnq).
Under the Westfall Act (The Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act or FELRTCA of 1988, a DEA claim of sovereign immunity could be eroded if 1) "a federal statute, regulation, or policy specifically prescribe[d] a course of action for an employee to follow, and the government employee deviates from this course" or 2) whether the federal agents' "judgment is of the kind that the discretionary function exception was designed to shield," meaning that a DEA agent could be liable if he/she failed to protect an injured party from the foreseeable consequences of an exposure to illicit fentanyl.
Staggering amounts of fentanyl hit streets as the DEA watched and took no action, records show https://t.co/WxowdTfYgn
When you become disabled, this is what you can expect:
“You just need to try harder”
“If it were really that bad you would have help”
“If the help is inadequate go to the hospital that’s what they’re there for”
What you can’t expect:
Actual friggin help.
People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.
