    As clinicians, you have been on the front lines of the opioid epidemic. I challenge you to share your story on http://CrisisNextDoor.gov  — your story can empower others #breakthestigma #CrisisNextDoor #AMAmtg @AmerMedicalAssn

        How about the millions of innocent CPPs who are forced off medications that have worked? How about the rising suicide rate among Patients because of draconian policies. It’s the illegal Fentanyl. If you can’t figure it out, step down.

        @Surgeon_General , @CDCgov @US_FDA @SGottliebFDA — please tell the truth about prescription pain medications. These medications are safe and effective, and are appropriately used by the vast majority of patients.

        The crisis for chronic pain patients is being unable to obtain medications on which we were stable for years and decades because the DEA began prosecuting physicians who treat pain. The DEA uses the CDC “guidelines” to punish physicians who continue to provide treatment. Why?

        How about the stories of the Chronically ill who have no quality of life due to your fake #opoioidcrisis. This is a Heroin and Illicit Fentanyl crisis which does not involve pain patients who have been on stable doses of their meds for years and now have been cut off. #TORTURED.

        And yet we continue to ignore those CPP left to suffer, self medicate or commit suicide. Help the addicts while continuing to cause deaths in the forgotten ones...Americans in pain!

        Could we next please challenge clinicians to discuss patients living w/ complex, intractable and #ChronicPain conditions to examine how Rx #opioids can be an invaluable tool for improving function & quality of life? Patients can, and do, use medication safely & responsibly.

        Please, I see CPPs on here all the time telling you how this opioid hysteria is hurting lawful patients. You couldn’t care less. You still continue to go after drs/patients. It’s the illegal Fentanyl. If you can’t figure this out then please RESIGN
