The problem is things have gone to far the other way now. Those with Chronic Pain are now committing suicide (as did my wife) when they are let to suffer.

The CDC itself stated in April of 2019:

"CDC Advises Against Misapplication of the Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain Some policies, practices attributed to the Guideline are inconsistent with its recommendations"

Sadly the medical community is not getting that message due to this mater now becoming political.

I’m so sorry about your wife.

Incredible that this is another comment of yours that manifests the answer I gave you in this topic.

Providers are under the microscope for opioids now, so why risk it, it's not their pain. Medicine is a rough field.

We posted at the same time, see my comment above yours about the documentary Pain Warriors.

Dr Mark Ibsen is one of the five stories. He lost everything for helping those with Chronic Pain. Five of his patients killed themselves when he was no longer able to prescribe. The medical board said he was over prescribing, that blood is on the boards hands. The arbitrator/judge in the case said that Mark did not do anything wrong, yet The System destroyed him.

Yes it is a rough field. I see it every single day in advocating for those that the Medical Establishment has forsaken.

There are bad doctors, there are bad people writing medical software as this thread explains. They need dealt with.

My condolences for your loss. My grandfather did the same, for the same reason.
