@LeahHoustonMD Completely agree! #PhysicianAutonomy is key: kevinmd.com/blog/2019/09/t…





Terribly sick today. Fever is still at 101. Chills & feeling hot then cold. Needing to use asthma nebulizers & mask to do breathing treatments. Seeing my GP tomorrow unless things get worse, I’ll need to go to the ER. Low cortisol symptoms like crazy. Doubled daily steroids. 😢

Just saw Olivia Newton John on tv giving an interview about her cancer. She said she’s using marijuana to help w/pain. She said marijuana won’t kill her like #opioids can.🙄 I don’t believe her at all! I bet she is using #opioids. JMO. Cancer pain? Come on!!

Psychiatrist Tom Kostas: “When seeing a new pt w/ chronic opioid use, first order of business is discontinuing the opioids...Over time, opioids stop relieving pain & may actually result in more pain...You don’t get anywhere until you stop the opiates.” #DependenceIsNotAddiction
