When I chirp shawty chirp back

Hey this is actually a good one to bring up: I was front row in medical school when they told us long-acting opioids like OxyContin were safe and non-addictive. Pain was the ‘fifth vital sign’ and you were being paternalistic if you didn’t treat your patient’s pain with safe and effective opioids. This didn’t come from pharma propaganda - it came from medical faculty who were eager to evangelize. We then saturated the country with prescription opioids and when we realized our mistake and pulled back heroin and then fentanyl took their place.



@TAPressly @KamalaHarris Your bill is insane. You aren't a doctor.

4 years ago today, I had a cardiac arrest in my sleep. I’m still here because of these wonderful human beings. Stay alive out there.
