We must remember- there are NO shortcuts to safer opioid prescribing!

Mr. Surgeon General, this is my last attempt to be heard by you. 1) For God's sake, just stop this madness and HELP US. I am not in near the amount of pain as others, and I am certain I will not make it through another year if this ridiculous torture with ZERO relief continues.

2) I can't do this anymore, and I am not alone. This is the most absurd, insane, ridiculous, inhumane, evil, whicked, horrific thing anyone has ever done to healthcare.

What do you mean by that? Because your explanation is 2-sided. Your DEA is scaring the crap out of doctors and they won't prescribe anything. People are being tortured by pain. Is that what you intend?

Yet there sure was a shortcut in taking everyone off when you had no contingency plans whatsoever if catastrophic health complications happened, and they did, frequently, and still do. Just admit you have no plans to make sure everyone is taken care of. This is pure politics.

As someone who suffers with chronic pain you're doing a disservice to us all by punishing us for people abusing medications. It's disgusting how people who don't understand this subject are lauded as experts.

Why won't you help abandoned pain patients? Your "any means to an end" approach will be judged harshly by history. Why are you not aware of the damage, pain, and abandonment you are helping perpetrate?
