I’m sorry, but this entire site is bogus. Nobody is being “attacked,” nor has the government been at fault. Indeed, unscrupulous greedy physicians and physician assistants are the criminals here, nobody else. As a result, pain medication patients have been serious collateral damage. Which is terrible. They’re the actual victims and the people who’ve truly suffered,
But let’s put the blame squarely where it belongs: ON THESE FORMER PHYSICIANS AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS. Their only concern was lining their own pockets. Their patients were nothing more than unwilling and unknowing participants in their illegal moneymaking schemes.
I’m only posting this to show everyone the totally propagandized public point of view. Naturally this person is off the rails. But the propaganda will continue to corrupt the population unless those attacked–pain patients and doctors, get together and start backing what we teach, and get the Controlled Substance Act repealed. As a result of the government propaganda, the medical profession has been totally reduced to disrespect. That will take generations to restore. But we do have a choice if people would just use it.
When I think of all the doctors in prison, who were raided, and/or lost their licenses, I feel so guilty for being a pain patient. I won’t even list all of my cervical and lumbar problems (there are just too many), but there are no more “fixes” for me. I’ve had several complicated surgeries throughout the years, but I’m 68 years old now and there are no options for me other than easing the horrendous pain I deal with. I am so grateful for the doctors who take on pain patients. It’s not right that they are being punished for treating those of us that most doctors won’t accept anymore or who dismissed pain patients from their practice just for being pain patients who need help. Our country has become so cruel. I’m sure some of these agents, judges, lawyers, testifiers, etc., or their loved ones will someday suffer from a horribly painful condition. Will they be given preferential treatment and treated with pain medications because of who they are, or will they be left untreated like too many of us?
They will be spending eternity in excruciating pain with no escape.
