I will win that bet then. From the article:
“The 2016 CDC opioid guideline is voluntary and only intended for primary care physicians. Longfield said warning letters were not sent to pain management physicians, oncologists or those working in hospice or palliative care, where higher opioid doses may be needed to control pain.”
If you believe that will remain that way for long you probably believed "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor".
I have chronic pain, have had for many years, three spinal surgeries including having four cervical disks replaced and I can tell you that this shit is already filtering down to my pain management doctor. But hey you read it in an article so why believe someone actually living it.
