I truly believe this is why ⁦@SanfordHealth⁩ is able to get away with all it does. #DennySanford is powerful and a contributor to #republican party. Both SD and ND are red states. Money talks.
#Sanford’s first priority has NEVER been 1/ argusleader.com/story/news/202…
about #patientcare or EVEN about their employees. It has been and is about #money & #power. #Patients & #caregivers needs concerns ignored & complaints to government entities go unheard. Employees provided the worst #healthcare policies ever. #Sanford needs to 2/
truly engage with #patientadvocates if they want their imagine to change. Without his #money & #power they have less protection. Very sad and cynical thing to say but I truly believe it. 3/

I just want to let out my frustrations w the #healthcare system & how assembly healthcare does NOT work. I think back about programs my kids went to. One being a renowned #painprogram. My focus was to assist in developing tools they could utilize in life to deal w #chronicpain 1
& their #illnesses. I wanted a #balance, I wanted a plan that was based on their individual needs. Their #pediatrician at 1st stated she had concerns w #program & not an #option for them. The #clinic called #pediatrician back saying they’d modify it for my kids. There really 2
were not a lot of options. The program promised individual care so off we went.
Nope started #titrating all #painmeds to align w time of #program vs Ind need. Then denied my daughter right to go to walk in #clinic when she was having issues saying this is what youth did 3

Just doing some digging. #Pain is extremely nuanced. And the approach should also. W my kids #health & #pain there has been continued lack of knowledge, assumptions, & unwillingness to understand.
➡️#Anatomy of those that had #TPAIT & lack of understanding
by many docs 1
how this can impact #pain
➡️ Not identify or understanding impact of #MalabsorptionSyndrome
➡️Assumption that removal of #pancreas should immediately ‘solve’ issue of #ChronicPain
➡️ #GastricEmptying issues
➡️ Age of my kids (too young to have #pain)
➡️ Lack of 2
understanding & identification of #MedicalTrauma
➡️T3c #Diabetes
➡️ Impact of #NASH on #pain & options for #care

There are numerous factors that are critical in #Treating an #ChronicPain in #Individuals. They list of few listed above that are factors w my kids, have often 3

Reviewing some #NorthDakota information surrounding #prescribed #opioids.
#OpioidPrescriptions #declined 34% from 2006 to 2020

Statement in poster ➡️ ‘Since 2007 every state has been working to address the #opioid epidemic & best practices are now understood’

Are they? 1
In the #Conclusion
➡️ nothing that addresses the #harm of #patients that struggled with #chronicpain. #Nothing re #outcomes of those #abandoned by #physicians & removed from #prescribed #opioids. Nothing about the looming disaster of last #physicians that #prescribe in 2 Image
#NorthDakota leaving. #Patients having no recourse. #NorthDakota absolutely has growth in area of serving those w #SUD yet in their pursuit to do this, they have #harmed those w #chronicpain & continue to exclude them in discussions or acknowledge these #harms. @hhsndgov 3

#Apologies can be steps towards assisting in #healing #medical #trauma. When my daughter was in @SanfordHealth for 2 months, virtually #secluded bc of accusations by #hospital administration that she causes her diabetic crisis a #hospitalist & #diabetic counselor accused 1
her of ‘stashing’ #Insulin in room. All visitors searched. No items in room unless searched - camera in room 24/7 YET she is accused of injecting #Insulin. My daughter again attempted to educate on post #TPAIT. After additional days, the #Diabetic #Counselor came back & 2
#apologized acknowledging how hard it was to control her #diabetes. It’s hard control when she is at #Baseline but if she is sick nightmare. That #apology meant the world 🌎 to my daughter. She continued to work w this #counselor throughout stay & after. YET #PatientRelations 3 Image

#Pain is nuanced
The difficulty with articles such as below example, is nuances not recognized.
For example, I could identify as someone with #chronicPain I have a few conditions that are accompanied by #pain.
My #pain is NOT unrelenting, it’s there ‘hovering’ in the 1 Image
background. I do #yoga 🧘‍♂️ & #meditation & for ME, for the #pain I experience, it provides benefit.
However, take my kids; NASH, kidney disease, gastroperisis, T3, scar tissue neuropathy etc. #mindfullness #meditation is not going even touch it. Not in anyway
2 example of 2
#pain experiences.
It’s understandable that many in nation that are not in #medical profession struggle w the #nuances
What I struggle w & what I believe #harms those w #ChronicPain is the generalization of #pain by #medicalprofessionals & lack of individualizing care based 3

#BuzzWords in #Healthcare that often mean nothing: #PatientEngagement, #PatientCenteredCare #SharedDecisionMaking
Studies have demonstrated for years that IF #patients are #authentically involved in #care outcomes are better, yet, too often the above words thrown out to 1
attract, yet no actions follow.
How often have you been asked your desired outcome of #Healthcare?
How often are you asked about barriers to healthcare or recommendations?
How often are plans focused only on med issue?
How often do you feel your #voice is truly #valued in 2
your own #careplanning?
How often do you feel there is collaboration between all doctors OR do you feel at times doc have competing or conflicting recommendations?

#Patients voice should be central. #LetMeHearYourVoice 3
