Easy not to look like you're drug seeking when you don't actually need the meds.
- nradov 4y agoDo you have actual evidence that doctors are refusing to prescribe? Usually they're only concerned with drug seeking in the case of controlled substances.
- P_I_Staker 4y agoI was talking about controlled substances, but the principle is the same, except in the authors example, doctors hesitate to prescribe because of off-label interest.
- nradov 4y agoThe principle isn't even remotely the same. Most physicians won't hesitate to prescribe.
- P_I_Staker 4y agoThe principle is exactly the same. Physicians missprescribe med, and society follows up by under-prescribing meds. This is the principle I as talking about and it lines up just fine. The difference is that you're saying it's different "because controlled substances". Yes this is a difference, but as far as I'm concerned this is simply arbitrary, as it's a different authority making decrees (vs. doctors just deciding on their own) I'm talking about the policy as a whole. I'm not interested in asking the various stakeholders why, only to have them point fingers at each other.
- nradov 4y agoYou're just making up nonsense. There is no such policy.
- P_I_Staker 4y agoNo, I'm not. You aren't reading my comments. Policy as a whole encompasses the way Doctors prescribe meds, generally. People are routinely cut off from medication for bogus reasons by clueless doctors.
