Wonder if Gary Mendell feels good demonizing opioid pharma’s influence, while his board member Thomas McLellan sits on Indivior’s board! Price of doing business, huh #PainProfiteers#Hypocritesyubanet.com/california/ag-…
#AndrewKolodny also sits along-side McLellan on #Shatterproof’s board. They’ve lobbied relentlessly to force the CDC guidelines into state and federal laws. This has caused irreparable harm and to this day, goes unchecked.
Here, McLellan lists MAT and “evidence-based” treatments, seeing the gold-mine in changing insurance funding requirements to not only mandate MAT (Suboxone, etc) but to pay more to treatment programs that offer this. Mendell expands on this w/his program. huffpost.com/entry/stopping…
The last pic showing how Mendell urges the federal govt to think of practicing medicine by limiting opioids(mmes, rx amt, etc) in the same way as speed limits.

At 4 hrs 41 min, the CDC rep presents the overview of the guidelines. At 4:52 sec., the Q and A’s. This really shows how there were a lot of concerns from the research panel (NPS) about the consequences and methods/bias involved in the formation of the CDC GLs. #ipp#cpp#PROP
At 5 hrs 24 min we have the evidence that shows the IPRCC (NPS) was not happy about the CDC guidelines and had a discussion about how to handle that. Listen carefully. videocast.nih.gov/watch=17523
