        Absolutely need to prevent abuse. However our country cannot cont to force a one size fits all approach to treating pain when someone has shown benefits outweigh risks in their individual patient circumstances. You've said it yourself. Our physicians need to hear it again.

        Our legislators need to hear it as well. #Minnesota allows disabled, #incurable #intractablepain, #raredisease patient, on #palliativecare to be force tapered, even though exempt. Dr said "state pressure" is too much. Can't even follow state IP statute without getting flagged.

        Stop spreading agitprop. Yr role is to protect citizens from genocidal maniacs like PROP. ODs keep increasing because pain patients being denied life-giving meds by terrified docs who don’t want to be imprisoned 4 treating patients. That’s their JOB! The gig is up. Admit defeat!
