I have my wife's death certificate to prove it . And now they are setting themselves up for failure again by refusing to use them or cutting people off that need them ,my palliative care doctor recently told me drink or do drugs I don't care, whatever gets you thru the day , but i will not prescribe opiates anymore ? Shes a pain manager who doesnt want to use the last tool in the tool box, for some people , this approach is already blowing up in there face ,the federal government numbers show pain patients are by and large not involved in the "epidemic" matter of fact pain patients are more likely to end there life because they can't get appropriate care , the government has known this for better part of 5 years . You can get the latest statistics from Pueblo C.O GIO. these are the worst of times for modern medicine ,they can't apply the lessons learned from the original opiate epidemic of 1915,where thousands of people didn't die because doctors sat on there hands , they didn't exactly know what was right to do they had to learn ,and now they know and won't.
Future doctors are going to look back and know exactly why people have no respect for medical professionals ,and why the latest "epidemic" is violence against doctor s, they are destroying there own credibility and reputations ,by being reactive to nonsense and doing nothing based on fact .
"1st do no harm"," and I will protect my patients from injustice " maybe in there oath ,but doesnt mean much to them anymore.
