Although originally intended the guideline was “supposed” voluntary and only intended for primary care physicians treating non-cancer pain, many pain patients have been
- forcibly tapered to lower doses,
- cutoff entirely or even
abandoned by their doctors – all under the guise of preventing addiction and overdoses.
- The CDC has stood by and done nothing to correct the false portrayal of its guidelines by insurance companies and pharmacies and doctors
AMA affirms that some patients with acute or chronic pain can benefit from taking opioids at greater dosages than recommended by the CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for chronic pain and that such care may be medically necessary and appropriate.
AMA advocate that no entity should use MME thresholds as anything more than guidance, and physicians should not be subject to professional discipline, loss of board certification, loss of clinical privileges, criminal prosecution, civil liability, or other penalties or practice
limitations solely for prescribing opioids at a quantitative level above the MME thresholds found in the CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids.
“It would have been nice to see this kind of statement when various Establishments first began misinterpreting and misapplying the CDC guideline, Too many have fallen victim to these insidious dangerous guidelines
Missing from the AMA resolutions is any recognition by the AMA that many of its own members – the organization represents over 200,000 physicians –
HAVE BEEN LYING TO THEIR PATIENTS AND/OR HAVE BEEN INFLEXIBLY IGNORANT/UNEDUCATED/UNKNOWLEDGEABLE/UNTAUGHT ABOUT THE VOLUNTARY NATURE OF THE CDC GUIDELINES.
