@Shasta_Rayne 1/Bottom line-we KNOW that the '#opioidcrisis' wasn't caused by MDs treating pain. We KNOW that it's primarily younger, often males, ODing on street drugs while #CPPs aren't ODing & are often older. We KNOW the PDMP is a drag net & DEA/LE involvement is why MDs are afraid to RX.
@Shasta_Rayne 2/We KNOW state Standards of Care were drafted around CDC 'guideline' with DEA scrutiny as their backdrop for policy making. We listened in as they changed pain tx standards with that in mind.
"How much & for how long can I rx my post surgical pt without DEA coming down on me."

@Shasta_Rayne 3/We KNOW HHS & the NPS has created a tragic mess for pain patients even though this OD issue was NEVER REALLY ABOUT PRESCRIBING; and we know why.
Money.
At some point, even if it was initially believed to be a public safety issue, it became a money issue when the truth came out.

@Shasta_Rayne 4/We also KNOW that getting LE/DEA out of the equation, changing state Standards of Care, or returning to any semblance of sanity in prescribing practices after the masterful anti-opioid brainwashing campaign they've been carrying out will take an act of GOD.
