The voices of anti-opioid PROPaganda @PaulCoelho @supportprop

2/From ~PainNewsNework~"Drs. Mark Sullivan and Jane Ballantyne say opioid medication numbs the physical and emotional pain of patients, but interferes with the human need for social connections.
“Their social and emotional functioning is messed up under a wet blanket of opioids”

3/Then there's Anna Lembke who tells us that we should 'find joy in our pain'... while accusing us of 'adopting a sick role'.

4/ Our nemesis Andy... The guy who says the torture of POC is for their own good...

5/ Chou, as he judges people in pain as needing psychological therapy because he believes injuries/illness is primarily a psych issue. "Just giving someone a pain medication is not going to address the psychosocial factors that we know are so important in contributing to pain..."

6/ The above is only a taste of the discrimination and judgments levied on the sick and injured in this nation.
Judgments and opinions that have become LAWS preventing pts access to opiate class MEDICINES.
Denied needed medicines.
Treated like criminals.
