Just so everyone knows, Dr Timothy Deer is a #PainProfiteer and opioid litigation #MDLShill that’s used his platform as an interventional anesthesiologist to sway opinions. In the last 7 yrs, 5 mill from industry/pharma. openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/physician/39400

Here is an article highlighting his testimony for the prosecution in WVA: wvgazettemail.com/news/legal_aff…

Here he writes for Partnership to End Addx, (which hypocritically accepts industry funds while demonizing pain-med pharma) and uses his platform to advertise expensive and risky products and interventions. drugfree.org/drug-and-alcoh…

Deer also helped the state of WVA develop an algorithm that would funnel pain patients into interventional pain offices. No COIs here🧐 I wonder if there was any oversight of this process. aol.com/article/2016/0…

And here it is, the idea that the benefits of sacrificing pain patients will outweigh the harms. Funny how we’re being offered up without any say in the matter by ppl getting paid millions. 😡
ty @ibdgirl76 for some of these links:)

Anyone wanting to defend him, I’d ask you carefully read all the links I posted and consider how this man capitalized on a crisis to self-enrich.

And here he defends against cross-examination by stating this 🤦🏻‍♀️
