Doctors are afraid to get arrested for prescribing pain meds. The government has injected itself into healthcare as a political response to the media response to the "opioid crisis."
I have an elderly family member (70s) that is treated as a pariah by one of the few pain clinics accepting new patients in the city.
- disabled 7y agoI am sorry. They definitely should not be doing this to somebody in their 70s. It is truly appalling!
- downrightmike 7y agoThe sackler family did create an crisis so they could rake in billions.
- pitaj 7y agoNo, the government created the crisis by restricting supply of painkillers people desperately need. Purdue is a nice scapegoat though. Good job playing the same card as the drug warriors ("evil dealers").
