I hope this brings about the change that is needed for responsible prescription of opioids that are the gold standard for pain relief. Our people are living with pain and suffering because of the opioid hysteria brought on by the irresponsible prescribing of mass amounts of pain meds to scammers.
Cancer patients and many ,many others are in pain. Some are turning to street drugs , some have committed suicide rather than live in pain. Responsible legislation is needed so doctors can start to prescribe pain meds to those that need effective pain relief.
