Heroin itself became pure, sortable, and being used by upper middle-class kids by mid-90s, and undoubtably some of those deaths included fentalogues.

Heroin quadrupled production in 2000s.
Someone used it...

Couple that with exaggerated climb in 2000s prescribing, factoring OUT parallel quadrupling of major skeletal surgery increases, cancer survival advances...

Just what the f**&ing hell.

Power went out, direct strike on our pole. Worse, it must have hit one of our off-grid lites too!

So it also took out my inverter battery back-up. Blew the outputs. Scrapped it.

We have a genny and a gallon of gas.

Gonna be a long day.
🥺
I see our strike arrestor blown open, but utility says our outage is part of an ongoing incident.

Means they fix it, then we call back left behind. That's a few hours lost.

Then, damn system has the 'not A' address tagged to my number. But they have power.
Another delay.
Rescued the incubator it's on genny.

Wife wants grits.
I want heat.
And we have enough wattage for one or the other.

So I told her to buck up and have a bowl of cereal.

Or unplug the incubator???

"When he came to, he was on the floor. He had rolled out of the wheelchair and hit his head. A gaggle of worried-looking medical staff stood over him. They asked if he was on drugs."

In most ER, he would have already been hit with two doses of NARCAN.

#alphagal allergy syndrome breaks all rules, stands as example of how much we don't know. This guy got lucky. I have YET to meet medpro that knows this, except for my allergist.

Had I not studied myself and searched for answers, my PCP would have found them thru MY anaphylaxis.
Would it have been flu shot I refused? (2 of 4 have mammal component)..

Maybe the acid blocker I refused, in a gel-cap?

Would I have passed out during colon prep for procedure I refused?

How long before first 'incident' gets me narcanned? Hell I'm probably allergic to it too.

@DEEGILES0410 "total resolution relating to the marketing of Suboxone is more than $2 billion — the largest-ever resolution in a case brought by the Department of Justice involving an opioid drug."

Suboxone, the newest and most effective gateway drug, 'Prison Heroin', easy to smuggle.
@DEEGILES0410 "Buprenorphine emergency department (ED) visits for nonmedical use of the drug have increased fivefold from 2005 to 2011 – up to more than 20,000 ED visits involving buprenorphine products for nonmedical purposes.."

Thanks to Indivior.

@DEEGILES0410 "Suboxone may also be becoming a preferred drug of abuse for individuals seeking an opioid-like high, and many may be choosing this drug over other opioids."

EXACTLY as Kolodny intended when he started pushing Suboxone in 2005.

We need truce to unify movement to restore pain care.

Recent fallout from UDT wars has split movement. Worse, we're labeled by our activism against forced frequent UDT of patients.

AMA stands in agreement with #Borderlines. It's time advocates include us. We're not the enemy.
The attached tweet references discussion where MS layed out plans to intercede in WA state deliberation of a pain patient rights bill, to insert mandatory monthly UDT as a requirement.

This is not a moderate position.

AMA position IS a moderate position.
AMA agrees with #25PsychoCPP that UDT does not improve outcome, is fraught with interpretation error, and acts as an access denial tool.

And their disapproval is referencing CDC guideline recommendations of patient initiation and once-yearly!

Urine Drug Testing is a flashpoint among many pain care patients, who resent being forced to submit, pay for procedure that can only DENY care, with no benefits, no medical necessity.

Certain advocates like Dr. Michael Schatman, have alienated patients with his UDT support.
Dr Schatman's online advocacy is frequently attacked for his promotion of UDT.

AND many patients join in with him, to denigrate those fighting this civil-rights intrusion into our care. We're told we are threatening a movement.

Yet, there's an elephant in the room...
UDT has become a criminal enterprise, racketeering on a scale equal to Mafia-style infrastructure.

Crooked execs, politicians, provider orgs, doctors, scheming to rob insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and patients of Hundreds Of Millions of Dollars.

Let's tour how CRIMINAL it is!
