1-Stop the, 'Over prescribing caused the opioid crisis.' narrative. I read article after article where 'liberal prescribing' is ascribed as the cause of the so called #opioidcrisis.
Many articles are written by people in our own community, self proclaimed pain pt ‘advocates’.
2-To this, I’d like to point out that in OC even a judge recently ruled:
"There is simply no evidence to show that the rise in prescriptions was not the result of the medically appropriate provision of pain medications to patients in need,"

2-Cut down in the prime of life.
Victims of #IllicitFentanylPoisonings.
Deaths happening due to a deadly drug supply, deaths that could have largely been prevented.
These are people, people who were loved, not statistics.
#SafeSupplySavesLives

3-And more #DrugWarCasualties, a direct result of prohibition like policies and practices and draconian legislation that has painted a target on both physicians and people in pain alike...

This was the "Pain Patients Bill of Rights" in 1997.
Let me repeat that date.
1997.
MDs already had the right to REFUSE pain meds-
LE to go after illegal use.
The whole 'everyone getting opioids like candy' is & was BS.

2-This is the business code info referenced in the above linked 'Patients Bill of Rights'-Cal. Health & Safety Code §124960.
Yet today, few can get proper pain care in CA to literally save their lives.

3-Most #chronicpain pts are told to just 'follow the rules' and/or agree to go to 'pain management' clinics to get care, yet Pain Clinics are targeted by LE/DEA & shuttered.
Patients abandoned.
'No opioid Interventional Medicine' has become standard of tx.

We've lost too many in this insane '#opioid' war.
The sick & injured are spending the last years of their lives fighting, suffering, begging MDs & GOV for the medicines they need to mediate their pain.
They say taking our medicines away is to 'save' people.
No one is being saved.
Death due to #Untreatedpain or #Undertreatedpain is death by a thousand cuts.
