THIS is #HealthCareInAmerica for patients with #ChronicPain due to @congressdotgov allowing @DEAHQ to regulate the Practice of Medicine through Intimidation, Coercion & unwarranted prosecution of Clinicians & Pharmacists.
Patients making arrangements for #VAD in Switzerland 😭
We can hope that the @USSupremeCourt ruling today on the #Ruan case which required the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the CSA was Knowingly or Intentionally violated will encourage a return to #PatientCenteredCare
However, as long as the @DEAHQ, @CMSGov & Fraud Task Forces continue to target clinicians based on a subjective definition of medical treatment, many may still be hesitant to provide the treatment necessary to restore function & quality of life to patients with #RareDisease,
Complex Chronic Illnesses & disabilities.
The climate of fear that is now controlling the practice of medicine must be eliminated to ensure that individuals with disabilities are able to obtain treatment based on their personal health care needs
Physician autonomy has been undermined by insurance companies, politicians, state medical boards, law enforcement, special interest groups, and non-medical administrators at healthcare facilities.
Most, if not all use algorithms based on a subjective definition of legitimate medical treatment.
Data analytic firms use criteria which is the equivalent of: "Provides treatment based on individual patient health care needs with a risk/benefit analysis and informed consent,
or treats patients who live in a health care desert and travels to obtain medical treatment."

Yes... that's where the Millions of taxpayer's dollars are going!
🧐How coincidental that this strike force targeting physicians & pharmacists was announced the day following the Supreme Court voted 9-0 that the Government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant knowingly or intentionally acted in an unauthorized manner.
Now, this wasn't 9k #Opioid RX. It was 3 different controlled substances either alone or in combination.
Their is NO law that defines "Over prescribing" or prohibits co-prescribing of any medication combinations. The FDA warning requires a Risk/Benefit analysis to be performed
to determine if the benefits for each "Individual Patient". Just like with ANY other medical condition. An Informed Consent discussion which includes both potential risks & benefits of any treatment options should be performed.
Misinformation & propaganda is being disseminated by the government and still floods the media. The #Gaslighting of America has been extremely effective. dovepress.com/misinterpretat…
Individuals with incurable chronic illnesses, #RareDiseases#Disabilities that involve severe pain as a component are being deprived of appropriate medical treatment.
The options for patients deprived of medical assistance to maintain their health are untenable.
For patients in my daughter's situation where her Seizure RX is involved the outlook is bleak. With less than 10-days remaining to resolve the situation her health & safety are
uncertain.
Will she survive? That's our main primary concern.
Will she die of medical neglect or be forced to attempt to self-medicate via the illicit market.
Forced to play a deadly game where all potential *options* may be cost her her life.
🧵The narrative that opioids aren't effective for chronic pain is false.
They manipulate perception by relying only on Randomized Controlled Trials (RTC) & excluding all Observational Studies (OS).
And by perpetuating the logical logical fallacy that Cancer & Non-Cancer

"The problem with this distinction is that there is very little evidence to support a difference between these two broad categories. As Peppin and @headdock point out: ~ @ewidera

“These claims are primarily philosophical, rather than medical or physiologic. As mentioned, pain mechanisms do not discriminate between cancer and noncancer pathophysiology. Patients with cancer or those without cancer have essentially identical pain-generating
