“...Rose seeks personal damages of $100 million “for pain, suffering and extreme torment...”
*******************************************
This (lawsuit jackpot seeker) causes me to lose sympathy for this guy’s lawsuit.
Judge ought to hit him with some hefty sanctions for the frivolous claims. He reminds me of the old Montana Freedmen and the ROT crowd.
Wonder if his back and leg issues would improve if he dropped about 100 pounds.
It’s the drug warriors dream come true: literally torture disabled people.
If they did this (withheld pain medications) with POWs, it would be a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Of course, it’s more important to make a statement than effectively treat people.
I pray every politician and bureaucrat involved in this charade gets a chronic illness and spends their lives in intractable, unending pain. Sadistic bastards every one.
THERE IS NO OPIOD CRISIS. ITS 100% FENTANYL, AND ITS NOT BEING PRESCRIBED THROUGH LEGAL MEANS.
They’re limiting post surgical mefor non veterans, also.
One of the efforts that the government instituted when managing healthcare was to have patients rate their doctors. Most patients lack the knowledge to appreciate the difficulty of medical or surgical practice and will formulate opinions on things like, how pretty the dressing looks or more correctly, on how much pain they felt.
In order to remain in the good graces of the medicare administrators most doctors recognized that pain relief resulted in happier patients. The rest, as they say, is history.
Now, the government will threaten your medical practice if you prescribe too much. Isn’t government involvement wonderful?
See. We have no more opioid crisis if the government says you cant have any more.
“Pain Contract”s are joke. I failed a mandatory P-test when on pain meds for my back surgery. Docs try to cancel pain meds because I was trying to slack off of the Ativan they have had me on forever and didnt have the proper amount in my precious bodily fluids. No mention of the hydrocodone they were handing me in 5 gallon buckets.
(All you Reefer Madness Freepers should just ignore this cause it will make your heads go splodey.) I have bucked Zohydro (time release hydro), hydrocodone apap, Cymbalta and Gabapentine in the last 3 months with the help of hemp seed CBD oil. I have one final (praying) nerve cauterization and I am looking to get some of my life back for the 1st time in over 15 years.
Carry on smartly.
This crack down on opioids is actually really starting to affect people who aren’t addicts!
My sister has had seven back surgeries throughout her life and she can barely walk (when she does walk, you can see the pain in her face with each step)! She also has RA and fibromyalgia.
About two months ago, on a Wednesday, her doctor gave her Tramadol, to replace the opioids, but they didn’t work. As instructed by her doctor, if she had any issues she should call his home-based office assistant to let the doc know (this was on Friday morning). HIS home-based office assistant asked if she still had some of her Tylenol-4’s, she said she did, and the assistant said just take those until you see the doctor. The assistant called her back on Friday afternoon with an appointment for Tuesday.
When she went in, the doctor took her off ALL meds, because she took the Tylenol-4’s, which he says that she shouldn’t have taken?!? The doctor told her that HE could get into trouble because she was taking Tylenol-4 AND Tramadol. She told him that she wasn’t taking the Tramadol, but he said they go by the prescriptions he writes, not whether or not the patient took the meds.
Well that is ignorant, because not everyone responds to medicines that same way, so sometimes the doctor HAS TO ISSUE several different drugs to find the right one! DUH!
She went almost two weeks in tear-inducing pain before her doctor gave her any replacement pain meds that actually worked! He kept trying to force her on the Tramadol, which simply does not work for her - PERIOD!
THIS IS A FORM OF TORTURE!
I just wonder, I used to hydrocodone, didn’t like it. Now I am using prescription strength ibuprofen. It is not working eel anymore. I’ve heard a lot about CBDI products and medical marijuana. Butyour I don’t want to go there. I don’t want to take stuff that alters myway mind.
Government is wonderful, it fixes everything it touches.
