    We need to change the conversation about what it means to have the disease of addiction. As physicians, we must help America understand that MAT, harm reduction and naloxone don’t enable continued drug use— they #enablerecovery #getnaloxone #AMAmtg

        MAT enabled recovery just the same as RX opioids ENABLE QUALITY OF LIFE when used as prescribed by legitimate pain patients. Why do you refuse to speak up for these many millions of people, sir???

        #SuicideDue2Pain you need to have a conversation about somebody why you decided it was okay to neglect a hundred million pain patients 1.6 million of them which are on high dose therapy. The government is the reason the suicide rates are so high.
