How bad is opioid hysteria? There are Tylenol- only hospice doctors withholding pain medication from a dying suffering patient

Three years ago today I found my 23-year-old son dead in his room from fentanyl poisoning. It's grief and a hell that's a parent’s worst nightmare. #AlecForever23

Opioid-free oncologists will make your last days hell on earth The DEA/DOJ has made examples out of doctors and now most are too afraid to treat pain including oncologists/rheumatologists This is a public health crisis

When did pharmacists decide that they can override a Drs orders for someone w stage 4 cancer? Or any pain med. Its about a better quality of life. This is why people like my best friend are now street drug addicts.
There are so many who are responsible for this cancer patient’s suffering, but let’s start with the doctors of @supportprop first We want prison time for Andrew Kolodny

Advocating for my friend, Dr prescribed Journavx to try and help with the chronic non stop pain. Multiple appeals, letters written and calls made. Big no from insurance. Out of pocket cost: $1100 for 30 days.

And this is how the data gets twisted. People with severe untreated or undertreated pain have hypertension caused by pain with much higher cardio morbidity & mortality rates. Your data is intentionally misrepresented, what it actually proves is that undertreating pain is fatal.

I’ve been hearing from people with no history of addiction, who’ve been denied opioid pain management after major surgery or trauma. CPA’s & police, our elderly parents, all being left to suffer, because young residents are being trained to treat regular folks as addicts.

Just another morning of waking up to messages from terrified pain pts who were stable and now are being force tapered, have been medically abandoned, have an Rx but the pharmacy won't fill it, was mocked at the ER, and had their lives ruined in the name of "prevention." @US_FDA

Prescribers: I get you're afraid to prescribe opioids, but stop telling your patients who have been stable on a full agonist for decades that Suboxone is now the new oxycodone and works just as well. You know that's not true. Stop lying to your patients, and at the very least
