Do you have a current DEA Certificate? I’ll take that as a no.
If you can’t prescribe them, then you haven’t observed their effects in real patients.
Wrong again. But I will give you a pass as you don’t know me from Adam, have no idea of my opiate research, and my years in treating patient in detox. Soldier on Joe, I am actually a fan of your posts. But it is striking how shallow our understanding of the various facets of pain, the damage caused by demonizing opiates (Nanny State totalitarians) as well as romancing opiates (Hollywood). More damage has been done to patients with NSAIDs as part of avoiding opiates than direct damage from using opiates. For example, why the hell is the 7.5mg Oxy/750 mg APAP still on the market? A lot of hepatic damage has been done by all that APAP. It is frustrating the damage caused by good intentions.
