imho, the 'bounce back' effect (would it be called something else?) - is creating terrible problems for those who need help in even larger numbers.
Especially in the hospitals that have signs like 'abuse is zero tolerance here blah blah' (3 out of 4 in my current city) - I've noticed that anyone who speaks in a language that differs from the accepted class of medical pros.. (I don't mean spanglish / vs whatever, I mean words used, descriptors. It's class warfare basically) you get treated like an adversary, liability, and they are practically hoping and definitely looking for an option to provide less care.
The war on drugs (along with pandemic related untreated trauma) imho, has created a class of 'professionals' who are more concerned with their own status than they are with providing care.
Yet all of the pain relief is kept behind locked doors guarded by a small faction who are more worried about being on "a list" than being compassionate and helping to relieve suffering.
Not surprised people in pain that are not getting treatment are lashing out at the one group that holds the keys to lessen suffering.
Did not read the paywalled article - maybe it's described some things that are vastly different than what I have been witnessing, not all places are the same I would think.
