  At @AmerMedicalAssn #AMAMtg, @Surgeon_General @JeromeAdamsMD testified at the reference committee on the need for his physician-colleagues to carry naloxone -- I showed him my naloxone and @WeAreAllies_ carrying case; he was impressed! #MembersMoveMedicine #naloxone #OpioidCrisis pic.twitter.com/UUPgnHSVv3

  Moved by your testimony at #AMAMtg2019. As the resident in charge of moonlighting, I will look into getting naloxone at our outpatient imaging centers.

  I refused to get the script for this. I signed the paper from my pain mgmt doc but I am NOT on a large dose of Fentanyl and I take my medication as prescribed. I was given the paper work but I have been on this since 2005. Was paperwork given to the drug addicts on the STREETS?

  Methadone & other pain "treatment" options are addictive. My EXPERIENCE is that Methadone was harder to wean off! I was MUCH SICKER when going off these alt to oxy drugs, the difference astoundingly not big! Govt ppl are so stupid they hire ppl unemployable to GOOD COMPANIES!

  How about we stop making something that flags you in the database as Rx only? If you truly want it in the hands of those who can use it to benefit others and not those that inject people willy nilly because "everything is an od" paperwork will always be prohibitive.
