@SenJohnKennedy Aww. Look at you. You're just revisiting the old troupe of the welfare queen. Can't even think of something new.

Requiring people on Medicaid who can work to get a job could save taxpayers more than $100 billion.

RANT WARNING: Dear fellow physicians, Please cut the crap with the "opioids are bad" trope. It's simpleminded and harmfully stigmatizes patients with high-impact chronic pain. It's ableist. And - much of the time - it's racist (I see you, sickle cell patients). If you're reluctant to prescribe opioids, fine - then don't. And don't project your fears onto those of us responsibly addressing pain care for patients with serious, life-limiting illnesses. We are not drug dealers. I get paid the same whether I prescribe an opioid or not. I don't take money from pharmaceutical companies for research or to prescribe certain drugs. I am not anyone's shill. If you don't know your state's laws for opioid prescribing, admit it - or look them up and learn them. Don't make up stupid💩about prescribing restrictions that don't really exist (and yes, I know some states have misguided hard dosing limits, but not Florida). Don't lie to your patients to hide your ignorance. Opioid therapy isn't for everyone, but there is clearly a group of patients for whom benefits exceed risks or harms. You're not "protecting them from addiction" when you falsely accuse them of misuse, addiction or doctor shopping. Please, please just stop screwing these people - and stop screwing the physicians willing to help them. Signed - Compassionate pain care physicians everywhere who are absolutely done with the systemic disinformation about opioid therapy #hapc #hpm #PainCareCrisis

@CarolKennon4 @Ledhedd2 @USAO_MIE Very clear. The study I assisted with was done in 90. We also looked at Child Guidance records from 83-88. Not only was ETOH involved,but they also stole Rx's from family members (primarily benzos). The information is out there, but it didn't fit their narrative.

@CraftyCatDad Every morning, I check your feed to see how Nuggie & you are doing. I see mutual compassion & respect. Especially in this era, where neither attributes seem to be prominent. Thank you for sharing your joy with us.

@CarolKennon4 @Ledhedd2 @USAO_MIE Poly substance abuse, especially with ETOH in the mix, was lethal long before illicit fent hit the streets. I was a student/research assist in a study of adolescents who had MH dx plus a hx of SUD. One of the variables was ETOH use. It was done by CNTR for Family Studies at UA.

@Ledhedd2 @USAO_MIE Gee I wonder why we don't hear about deaths from the alcohol epidemic along with guidelines for limiting access. Good point. Many deaths blamed on opioids also involved alcohol, a little detail the CDC buried.

@CraftyCatDad Soups. Every culture has their own, so theres unlimited choices. A wide variety of serving temperatures. If it's a hearty soup, they usually taste better the next day. They're a great vehicle for using that last celery stalk, carrots,etc. My go-to food.

@NiallHarbison I can understand how another report coming in so soon quickly would be a good thing. I’m so glad you are there to help. I love that Alba has gifted this one a chance at life. Thank you Niall!

I was upset about Alba last night but in one way it was lucky a report came in from 3 people. A street dog with a huge growth in an Irish bar on the other side of the island. I went to get her first thing today… (1/8)

@mlstrat I will never not see this as strange. Oh well, I guess if they are happy and not hurting anyone!
