Instead of effective analgesics, some patients with acute and/or chronic pain are being told to take OTC Tylenol and/or Ibuprophen in the ER & for post-op pain.

1)A few facts about the hit piece by the @nypost that could be potentially be considered libelous by the study participants.

"According to researchers’ assessment, the majority (69%) had previously collaborated with a pharmaceutical company in

vianypost.com/2023/03/17/pat… 2)some way — serving on advisory boards, speaking to physicians and researchers or communicating with key audiences — but appeared to have honorable intentions in spreading awareness and information about their condition."

jmir.org/2023/1/e41867/

2)which underscores the need for close supervision of these patients."

Let's take a look at their rationale for their conclusion.

Of 9940 patients who received 3 or more #opioid prescriptions over an 8 years, 51 experienced an #overdose, 6 of the 51 experienced a fatal event. 3)The researchers did not make the yearly data available, nor did they provide data on any known prior history of Substance Use Disorder #SUD within the #Patient population.

It's impossible to determine how they performed their calculations to obtain these results.

"A variety of factors contribute to drug use and other problem outcomes, both individual and environmental. While drug prevention and treatment have traditionally focused on changing individual behaviours,

ndarc.med.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/… 2)such efforts can have only limited impact when changes are not made to the environment, that is, to the social determinants of drug use. These include the social and cultural environment, the economic environment and the physical environment."

How do you spell Government Waste?

NEPO!

@kennethpolite of @TheJusticeDept side stepped questions from journalist inquiring as to the costs involved in the new Strike Force.

The @DEAHQ has documented that diversion of RX is rare. Only 1%

justice.gov/opa/pr/justice… are diverted.

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

🧐 and *what* do Federal Law Enforcement & AG's consider *Dangerous prescribing*?

Let's take a look!👀

The DEA perceived this CA Pain Management to be a "High Prescriber"😯

In 3 years he issued 9,000 RX. Oh My, How Shocking!!!

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

Should it? NO!

1/4 There is no clear definition of overprescribing. Yet policy makers keep doubling down on a misguided mission to reduce or eliminate opioid prescribing, putting patients back in miserable pain and mental anguish, driving some to suicide and others to the black market.

The protections for individuals with disabilities under the American's with Disabilities Act are not being enforced when patients with painful diseases report experiencing discrimination.

To influence lawmakers we need everyone to get involved.

Here’s what you can do!

Personally, I find the entire outline of their Orthopedic program concerning from a patient's perspective.

In addition to the "72 hr Pain Free" follow up. It minimizes the potential for patients to experience post-op pain.

Unrealistic expectations shouldn't be advertised🤦‍♀️ Make no mistake, I'm in suggesting this act was justified.

There is no, and can be no justification for striking out at medical professionals when a patient's expectations for treatment are not met.
