It is disheartening that the Federal Government has demonized the once noble and esteemed profession of pain management, which has long been a legitimate sub-specialty of anesthesiology since the 1960’s.

 

The Feds have engaged in an all out war against chronic pain patients and their physicians and have destroyed and entire specialty of medicine. All because they can’t control the flow of illicit fentanyl and heroin into the United States.

Managing pain with opioids is a science - except politics, money, and overzealous law enforcement are denying American patients the relief they so desperately need. Who are these unintended victims of the Opioid crisis ?

As someone who has chronic pain, and had to go on disability because of it, I wholeheartedly agree. - My good friend had to do the same. They treat her terribly. Like she's a drug user .. smh .. Shameful ..
