The outragiously unscientific CDC Narcotic Nazi Guidelines are causing doctors to leave their practices all over the US, for fear of DEA Gestapo malious prosecution & Asset Forfeiture if they exceed an arbitrary and unscientific “one size fits all” policy while trying to treat their patients effectively and as individuals.
Patients are being deserted by their doctors after they have used opioids as directed, safely and effectively for years to maintain the quality of their lives.
Chronic pain patients left with two alternatives buy pain relief illegally on the streets or end the pain for good by committing suicide.
They all knew that it was never a Doctor Prescribed Opioid Crisis, it was always an illegal heroin & illegal fentanyl flooding of the US.
78% of the Oxycontin overdoses were NOT Doctor Prescribed… but purchased on the black market illegally, etc. They have known this since 2009.
And how many chronic pain patients that have undiagnosed cancer or other fatal illnesses that could be treated….are too afraid of mentioning other painful symptoms, because they may be dropped by their Physicians or have already been dropped and have no Doctor to go to?
Your ignorance has dire consequences!
Our government is aware of this problem, but chooses to do nothing to help chronic pain patients and their doctors.
Prohibition Never Works
