Good. Sometimes, a person is in really bad pain (such as gout) and doctors prescribe Motrin. If you ask for a real painkiller, they check the “asking for opiates” box and you’ll never get them. If you don’t ask, they assume that Motrin is good enough.
Yep - and the irony is that it’s the same ObamaCare idiots who told us it’s far better to just treat the pain than waste money on actual treatment who are behind the move to block access. They’re making doctors afraid to do what’s best for the patient.
Interstitial Cystitis is chronic, not fixable and very painful, yet these new pain laws don’t make allowances for well documented chronic illnesses that cause level 9 pain. Most just want the level down to LIVABLE.
And you want to talk about the pain meds for end stage cancer only high doses of Morphine is going to work there. And Hospice is well known of ODing patients to get rid of them faster. They did my dad it stopped his heart, it was not the end stage lung cancer found to late that killed him but their ODing him.
