It’s quite the racket. Have addiction med industry funded people on workgroup to create OUD diagnosis, which then inflates numbers of OUD so they can claim incorrect stats and then push a fake OUD dx on pain pts. Then put them all of Suboxone. Have orgs funded by addiction med pharma lobby to change guidelines, policies, laws - that will all lead to fake OUD dx so pts can be shuffled into Suboxone clinics

@_or_there @darlene_salley @CMerandi Oh my God Addie Here, you're delusional.

@darlene_salley @CMerandi Same. The patient "advocate" is "thankful" Trump & Musk are "ripping away food and medicine from the poorest kids in the world".

I am thankful for Trump and Elon Musk

@donniepj2a @CMerandi So what if she does that. Your reaction is preposterous.

@CMerandi We’re talking about a lady who posts pictures of her teenage daughter on X detailing her weight loss lol. The lady is unhinged in all aspects of life. I pity anyone who’s desperate enough to take her seriously.

Lol, I think I’m the advocate you’re referring to

@ACSHorg The Pain Lawsuit was FILED on Feb 3rd! I am awaiting the judge's authorization to proceed in Forma Pauperis and avoid a filing fee, and to OK me to SERVE the parties!

Carfentanil Marches On. It Could Erase Recent Recent OD Declines. / AmericanCouncil on Science and Health During 2023-24 seizures of street drugs laced with carfentanil - a highly potent analog of fentanyl - rose steeply. It appears that this trend is continuing. If so, things are going to get ugly @joshbloomacsh

@ACSHorg Very concerning.

@ChadDKollas Would you consider being an Expert Witness and appear by conference call or Zoom in The Pain Lawsuit? I cited your clinical study and your history of the PROP doctors influence over the CDC. drive.google.com/file/d/13DG6bj…

@ChadDKollas Thank you so much for speaking out about this anti opiod hysteria, it really has gone too far &the suffering it has caused is unacceptable

@ChadDKollas Is it not medical malpractice to not treat those with chronic pain ? Is it not wrong to let those with chronic pain suffer needlessly ? There are true Doctors, then there are those who claim to be doctors. You are a true Doctor my friend. Signed. One very pissed off Husband.

@ChadDKollas Thank you for doing right by your patients and fighting back against cowardly providers who, whether or not they intend to, are doing a lot of harm to patients with their ignorance and/or ableism.

@EverydayFinance @Duskblossom @ChadDKollas It’s interesting that out of all of the things you could’ve taken from that post, you latched on to that comment. Maybe you’re missing the point? If it’s not an “ism” then do tell: why are doctors acting like this to ppl that need pain relief?

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
