@national_pain @speakingabtpain Came across these today and am wondering if you’re familiar with these “aggressive” guidelines (as Don Stader said) done in 2020 for Colorado. Don Stader is cozy with PROP. listennotes.com/podcasts/color…
At 8:30 on the surgery and anesthesia podcast from the above link, Don Stader “I feel like opioids are a lot like smoking”…lnns.co/cQSbkJLtg57
ACS - one of their top donors is Pacira. Not to mention I just found this, which was done in the magic year of 2016: facs.org/media/press-re…
The ACS supports, and I believe they were a part of these Colorado guidelines.
Here’s the 2020 donor/sponsor list for the ACS. I have Pacira highlighted. They’re in the million $ and up category. facs.org/-/media/files/…
Here’s the Colorado Hospital Association’s page explaining these guidelines. Their first pillar/goal is to reduce opioids.

Just so everyone knows, private ins. companies and CMS joined with the feds to go after opioids and doctors, with $ from tort litigation being the end-game. For example: BCBS Michigan supplied the dea under-covers with fake mris to trick MDs & then when they rxed, arrested them!
Now BCBS gets to sue opioid manufacturers for billions. The corruption is unbelievable. We have MDs sitting in prison so companies could get rich from these lawsuits.
We have patients that have DIED b/c of this. THIS IS NOT ABOUT KEEPING PPL SAFE. If it was, the cdc would have tracked what happens to the MDs and patients after they made all the changes. Instead, they CHOSE to only track how much they could reduce prescribing. This is a SCAM.

Just so everyone knows, Dr Timothy Deer is a #PainProfiteer and opioid litigation #MDLShill that’s used his platform as an interventional anesthesiologist to sway opinions. In the last 7 yrs, 5 mill from industry/pharma. openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/physician/39400 ImageImageImage
Here is an article highlighting his testimony for the prosecution in WVA: wvgazettemail.com/news/legal_aff… ImageImage
Here he writes for Partnership to End Addx, (which hypocritically accepts industry funds while demonizing pain-med pharma) and uses his platform to advertise expensive and risky products and interventions. drugfree.org/drug-and-alcoh… Image

@ZachWritesStuff Roger Chou works for OSHU and contracts to do the systematic reviews on opioids for AHRQ. He’s worked closely with PROP since they formed in 2011. He was also one of the 3 authors of the 2016 gl, as well as a part of the board of sci. councilors for cdc that approve the gls 🤦🏻‍♀️
@ZachWritesStuff So he chooses which studies are considered in to go into the GLs, writes them, and then also gets to approve them. I uncovered the fact that the Oregon AG has been funneling opioid litigation money into not only OSHU (and this was in 2015) but also into Oregon’s ORCrm state grp.
@ZachWritesStuff Chou was an integral part of Oregon’s response to the opioid epidemic thru OHSU and his work with the ORcrm. It’s just disgusting how this has gone unchecked until today.

Gonna give you an example of the type of corruption we’re dealing with in the realm of anti-opioid America: 1/?
Public Integrity is one of the oldest nonprofit investigative news organizations in the country. Don’t let the name fool you, though. Let’s look at one of their articles as an example of their reporting on the opioid epidemic: publicintegrity.org/state-politics…
This non-profit has been dedicated to writing about the dangers of rx pain meds and how opioid-makers/distributors were responsible for the overdose epidemic.

So I decided to see who was on their board. 🤔

Now we know who’s been pushing complimentary as a replacement for traditional medicine for the treatment of chronic pain. Lots of info packed into this slideshow. ihsymposium.com/wp-content/upl…
Good old Ballantyne. Emphasis on old- as in thinks pain care should be taken back to the times of outhouses and the laying on of hands….cause “that’s the best we can do”. ImageImageImageImage
I’d like just add this here, considering there is misinfo about the good ole days when patients were left to suffer….. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
