@ChadDKollas@LelenaPeacock It shouldn't have taken me over 20 years to find compassionate healthcare providers who understood this truth. Thank you, exclamation
@ChadDKollas@AAHPM My respect for you runs deep enough that I will repost this without even visiting the site. Though not a professional myself, I have seen my fair share and I will be kind enough not to comment on them.
@gavagai70@ChadDKollas@NewYorkStateAG I beg to differ. As a person suffering from extreme chronic pain and a member of many pain groups, I find the most common story is legitimate pain meds are withheld so the sufferers seek alternatives wherever they can find them. Pain will take you there.
A new study of an opioid risk tool found "too many false alarms." Its classification of patients as being at high risk for overdose or opioid use disorder turned out wrong more often than it was right. https://t.co/Lknguomby1
This is absolutely the MDL playbook. It began with the tobacco settlement, which created a class of well-paid attorneys, adept at multidistrict litigation. Opioids were next (aided by the flawed CDC 2016 Opioid Guidelines), and now it's social media as addictive. It never ends.
@geraldposner@_SEFRA_@ejb1893 This isn't the flex that you think it is. I'm quite sure the Sacklers didn't manufacture OxyContin using illicit fentanyl. You've contributed to the vast majority of opioid-involved overdose deaths by driving patients in pain to a tainted, non-medical drug supply.
