    Vital @HSPH poll: Americans see the opioid epidemic as a problem but not a national emergency. Half know someone addicted. The wake up call: the govt's response is fine but not the medical community's. They blame doctors most, pharma less, patients leasthttp://bit.ly/2Cpgrhv

        It is a shame that larger parts of India still doesn't have an access to opioids for pain relief while Americans have abuse related issues!pic.twitter.com/ffkNVJlqMu

        It is really nice of you to strongly feel for this issue. Similarly #vaping helps smokers quit tobacco. #RegulateDontBan @JPNadda @PMOIndia #vapefam

        My two cents on this: the rise of tying a physician’s worth and compensation to patient satisfaction measures in a culture where the public believes all pain should be eliminated and is not normal is the environment in which such an epidemic is bound to occur.

        Informative poll. As someone who lives with #ChronicPain who is also an occupational therapist, I see a largely unaddressed need for accessible #wellness programs for chronic pain & disease management. The funding for implementing such programs just isn't there in rural areas.

        In this country, anything that goes wrong is always someone else’s responsibility. It takes two to tango. Big pharma profits most while watching.
