        Despite our government telling DRs how to practice medicine, and despite patients with serious illness/injuries being denied needed medicine, OD deaths on the street have skyrocketed. Go figure. This was never about RXd opioids. EPIC GOVERNMENT FAIL!https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=34&v=Ci_snaj4mkE …

        It's having a terrible affect now on Chronic Pain Patients - Neurological Disorders. They can't get their medication. I always thought I lived in America but the government will not let good physicians do what they took an oath to do. I live with RSD.

        The @US_FDA and @SGottlieb have their heads so far up their as*ses they can't read .gov data that shows heroin and fentanyl are the problem. Keep up your barbaric,inhumane treatment of #chronicpain pts though.

        The FDA is actively targeting kratom.which is safe and telling everyone it isn't even when scientists disagree. The FDA is a threat to the public. #CORRUPTION

        More needs to be done with substance abuse prevention, which is much less expensive than treatment and recovery

        Last time we checked wasn't solved & did a great job at making sure law abiding, American citizens don't deserve proper pain management. I know you guys keep telling yourself what your doing is good. But you scared providers out of giving proper care. We are suffering. Wake up!!
