@CMerandi ... cannot blame pharmaceutical companies, doctors, pharmacies, or drug cartels for this. Yet this is what we do. We weaponize legislation, I.T. (surveillance), public messaging (propaganda), & enforcement to ensure more suffering & more death. Wisdom this is not

Flock cameras and Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs = George Orwell One tracks where you drive. The other tracks the medications your doctor prescribes.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes

🚨 Security researcher Ben Jordan reveals that Flock cameras are secretly creating a GPS tracker for every car in America, and it’s already live This is extremely concerning “Flock license plate readers take a timestamped photo of every vehicle that passes every camera. Police can search your historical travel information for 30 days. This creates a searchable database of everyone, not just the suspects of crime — It's like if you were to build a graph of that sheet and plot it to a map, now it's as if you've had a GPS on your car for an entire month” “In order for that historical data to be of investigative value, you have to track every car” Flocks own training videos say they aren’t just tracking license plates, they’re tracking people “But Flock's own webinars talk about its license plate reader's ability to track vehicles and people” Directly from the investigation: But the company’s own training videos show police using the system to track suspects “from location to location to location.” And some of its cameras are designed to follow people as they walk. “And they quite literally use AI to zoom in and follow you around whether you’re a person of interest or not,” We need to ban Flock nationwide, this is the surveillance state being established

“I was told I couldn’t have my meds refilled if I didn’t get the injection.” Interventional pain and addiction medicine will cost taxpayers billions in the future Withholding pain medication has led to suicide, suffering, and overdoses

Dr Stephen Skoly - RI CD-2 Candidate
It was an honor to meet Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos, who is currently carrying out the duties of the U.S. Surgeon General. As a surgeon, I know America needs health policy shaped by medical professionals who have cared for patients, not career bureaucrats who have never stood in an operating room or faced families searching for answers. We discussed the importance of putting patients first, restoring trust in public health, protecting the doctor patient relationship, and building a healthier America.

261 studies. Clinically insignificant for postoperative pain. Yet gabapentin became the go-to replacement for opioids. Retired anesthesiologist Dr. David Alfery explains how this happened, what the evidence actually showed, and what broke pain care. Full podcast: youtu.be/L0LCgjMg8ks?si…

I can get you placed in a Suboxone program in under one hour and you don’t need to see a doctor There is a generation hooked on the opioid, Suboxone Meanwhile, mainstream media continues to discuss the Sackler family
HarrysGrl💙💚@harrysgrl94

@CMerandi What makes me sicker about the whole thing is addicts can very easily get on these programs but they refuse to help the chronic pain patients. And these addicts that get suboxone most of their scripts they don't even personally use. Why is the world completely backwards.

@CMerandi I've been in my medical transport rides & overheard other patients talking about their suboxone prescriptions, they're selling their pills. So yes people are abusing Suboxone.

Anti-kratom advocates are using the same playbook and “experts” used in the manufactured opioid crisis The war on kratom is sponsored by lawyers and the makers of Suboxone Anti-kratom and astroturf orgs like @EndKratomVA go hand in hand

@Lindac0506 Fear The DEA has made examples out of physicians who treated Pain/anxiety There are hundreds of innocent physicians incarcerated. The government created a machine nobody knows how to stop

@CMerandi My PCP that I have been going to for 20 years has informed me she is no longer prescibing Xanax. I have been on for 15 yrs. for anxiety (0.5mg). I now have to find a psychiatrist. What sense does that make? Why are they limiting drs. Prescribing meds??

Yes, there are physicians who are telling patients Suboxone is not an opioid. Yes, you can OD on the opioid Suboxone Yes, you can abuse Suboxone Yes, Suboxone is currency in prisons And it’s linked to catastrophic dental decay

CVS should be shut down In fact, any pharmacy who continues to withhold pain medication should be shut down They are creating a public health crisis
DL Barcon@DLBarcon

@blu_noz_pitbull @CMerandi CVS has been sued and fined millions. They are running scared. It’s not right for the patients, but the reductions are their solution.

@CMerandi I've been horribly treated at multiple big name pharmacies. We should be able to sue these a**holes for discrimination. My son had to drag me out of a Walgreens I was 🤬 at a pharmacist running his mouth. Our lives are hard enough already, we deserve better treatment not more 💩

If I could offer some advice to future pain advocates: If you base your advocacy on vilifying The DPF, as this person Ingrid is doing, you’ll fail We’re honest and have dedicated our lives to serving others A concept Ingrid is unfamiliar with
Bev Schechtman🇮🇱@ibdgirl76

More “advocates” making it their advocacy trashing ours. Ingrid, let me save you some time dear, we are 💯 compliant, we have a bookkeeper and an accountant. “Unfortunately, she has been compliant.” How weird that you’re disappointed that we are compliant as a 501c3.
