Cortney Gensemer, PhD 🔬🧬 Patients not being taken seriously often entails MDs reluctant to hear words from women or people lacking power- popularized as medical gaslighting.

The fact that all of these articles discussing spending the opioid settlement funds on yet never ever mention safe supply of rx opioids for people in pain is astonishing to me.

Did they really need a study to show zero opioids protocol leads to less consumption of opioids? clinicalpainadvisor.com/opioid-addicti…

🚨 Something huge happened today. 🚨

U.S. FDA Dr. Robert M. Califf listened to harm reduction programs and made it infinitely easier to purchase in bulk. With 100,000+ overdose deaths each year, we need BIG solutions.

ONDCP Rahul Gupta, MD, MPH, MBA Rahul Gupta Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Task Force Rep. David Trone Ann McLane Kuster Paul Tonko ⚫️ Let’s be clear and tell it as it is: the main problem is Prohibition (not drugs per se); the key protagonists are the UN & government law enforcement agencies (not gangsters); the main damage is fuelled by the military, criminal and community justice system (not criminals).

What if this attempt to” prevent addiction, “seriously jacks up overdose deaths? So are they saying it’s better to be dead then struggle with addiction? Dr. Lewis Nelson claimed addiction is the absolute worst thing anyone could ever deal with.

If you know someone who has made the difficult decision to obtain meds elsewhere due to medical abandonment or forced taper, please pass along these resources to help keep them safe.

⁦if it’s all about saving lives why has our state ignored pain patients’ cries for the last 6 years about being cut off meds, medically abandoned, and going to the street? Seems it’s all about getting $$ but not saving lives. ⁦Josh Stein⁩ wnct.com/features/onlin…
