I'd like to explain why #PainPatients & the #disability community is having a VERY difficult time w/this suite of articles about #ChronicPain.
I did find a more balanced view in some of the articles, & that's a good start for journos covering #ChronicPain. Sadly, it isn't enough.
For the past 7 years, #PainPatients have endured the draconian shift in #healthcare & attitudes toward pain & disability.

Countless patients lost their meds.
Many patients lost their doctors.
Some patients lost their jobs, their spouses, even their children.

Some of us died.🥺
In 2016, the #CDC unleashed their #Guidelines for prescribing #opioids for #ChronicPain.

The guidelines were adopted as a mandate in Rxing & the #StandardOfCare across the board.

Overnight, #PainPatients became a glaring liability for all doctors, & the consequences are harsh.

Important @ICMR statement on evidence based use of #StemCell Therapy based on critical review of literature & claims by large panel of academic clinicians, which I had the privilege to lead. #StemCells often hyped & shouldn't be offered as #StandardOfCare
Inherent public appeal of #StemCellTherapy is being exploited & promoted unethically as a #MagicRemedy to vulnerable patients & should be regulated. There are many diseases where Basic/Translational/Clinical Research can establish its utility @ISSCR @ICMR @fda @ema leads the way!
Acutely aware that patients & their groups want freedom to try whatever might help them & detest when the academic medical community or regulators are so hung up on #RiskBenefitRatio & good evidence and till then say this therapy they cannot take outside regulated clinical trials

Why politicians or others can promote HCQ/Other stuff as GameChanger while we just watch. They know MDs/Academics haven't yet made public understand the meaning/relevance of
#StandardOfCare
#AcceptableAlternative
#ClinicalBenefit
#ExperimentalTreatment
#ClinicalTrial
#Preclinial
Though its a public health crisis, we can't expect the public to understand the critical importance of these terms as we do in Medicine/Regulatory Agencies. COVID is not the 1st or last public health crisis. Let's try to make people know & ask about these as their rights & safety
We can engage and educate the public using examples they can relate to or remember. If they get it right they will be less gullible, esp during public health crisis

I have a grievance regarding my mom's care during her bout w/#sepsis. #dementia

At the end of October 2019, my husband & I awoke to find mom's breathing labored, & her mumbling to let her sleep. We let her rest. A fever spiked within the hour, & suddenly she became deathly ill.
She was twitching, sweating profusely, in full rigors, & unable to sit up/speak well. She looked TERRIFIED. I thought she had a stroke. Turns out, it was a high fever from an infected gallbladder. She landed in the #ICU. ALL her vitals were jumping around. It was horrible.
She landed in the ER & eventually the ICU. Turns out she had #sepsis from the infected gall bladder. The ICU's 1st step? Changing her meds around INSTANTLY. Specifically they rescinded ALL #opioids abruptly. After over a decade on them, she was thrown into acute withdrawal in ICU
