This is a slide from Jim Shames, creator of the Oregon Pain Guidance. Want to know why women are treated as though pain is all in our heads? This is why. It’s not just the ORT, but people like Shames and Dr Ling (psychiatrist) who push this idea.

2) More from Shames. You take women who have been violated and traumatized and also have kidney stones, MS, FMS, RA, cancer, EDS, and you gaslight them. You tell them even though they have a dx condition, their pain must be psychological bc they were abused or raped.

3). Then you use that as an excuse to deny pain relief. You violate and traumatize them all over again. And you count this as success? So now if you’re a victim of sexual abuse or assault your pain, regardless of what it is (cancer, broken bones, mastectomy, kidney stones,)

Gaslighting of CPP’s is atrocious. #medtwitter- if you are scared to give opioids for pain, then say so. Stop telling a patient their illness shouldn’t hurt. Just stop. PSA for ER doctors: your line that kidney stones don’t hurt unless completely obstructing urine is a lie.

@CDCInjury

Every day I read stories on the kidney stone page bc I get chronic kidney stones. The last year has been insane for people w kidney stones. Kolodny loves to say NSAIDs work better for them than opioids. @CDCInjury keep lying to yourself that this isn’t happening bc of your GL.

@CDCInjury

@CDCInjury states, hospitals, medical practices, have written into law and policies that nobody can be over 90 mme. You did this. #DEAth goes after doctors who rx over 90. #Narxcare marks anyone one over 90mme in the top 1% for overdose risk. This country has gone insane.

Anna Lembke, "expert" witness, making I believe$750/hr, has made many derogatory statements. Remember, she is a Psychiatrist, and not a pain dr. That doesn't stop her, though. I am going to add some of her quotes to this thread. 1/

Anna Lembke 6/15/17 said "But the poor and people of color have definitely suffered during this opioid epidemic.” “Disability insurance has become the modern social safety net. Disability became a very attractive way for people to simply earn a living.”

3/ “I have had many patients over the years whose primary identity is that of being a patient, maintaining that illness is not just crucial to their identity but also crucial to their income if they’re on disability. If they were to get better then they would lose that income"
