1) Experiencing better physical function with the addition of prescription pain medication is NOT a moral failing. For the intractable pain person, this can be life altering in the best way.
Now, it has become stigmatized and corrupted into polarizing political and societal -
Judgment, gaslighting and scapegoating. Plus, new positions of power, for those willing to forgo human morality for the sake of instant professional accolades.
Being anti opioid will soon go out of style. And trust me- not forgotten who conducted that train.
The ones who stood by and let it happen, or did nothing. The ones who were warned but continued to be complicit. All will be part of this historic human tragedy. @Oregon should be acting, should be fixing.
Our #Nation is #harming so many good people, who want to live with dignity, despite being dealt the unfortunate hand of #chronic #intractable #pain . Raise families, make art, make milestones, learn and thrive.
It is a FAILER of the healthy and Government -
And policy makers, and health officials to not stop this at once.
