Also remarkable? Doctors became so afraid to prescribe opioids that patients with severe chronic pain conditions were left without the necessary medications to control their pain.

I broke my back in high school, and now every doctor is like, "no you can't have back problems. You're too young. Faker." Even though I've had facet injections, nerve burnings, every type of lidocaine, etc. Only thing that does anything is opiates, but thankfully low level ones.

Another thing that sucks, those w/ chronic pain who benefit from opioids w/o becoming addicted are absolutely screwed. Was 2 weeks away from hip surgery, pain was unbearable. Went to FOUR doctors, including my surgeon. Couldn’t even get Tramadol from any of them.

I am so sorry! My husband has been bed ridden waiting for his hip surgery. Such a terrible way to approach surgery, weak, no exercise, muscle wasting, because there’s no help anymore.

Maybe we could go back to when our doctors thought for themselves??

Yeah this gets me too. I mean, I can punch my symptoms into a computer system too so if that's all that's needed these days to receive medical advice then I can save a bundle on co-pays.

The American "medical" system is a mess. When your med records technology is recommending (is that a euphemism for 'prescribing"?) opioids, the profit motive has completely swallowed Hippocrates.

That’s called Opiocrate.

Funnily enough, I found solace in computers after healthcare broke me
