      1/4 Hope everyone had a fantastic #fatherday! For this week’s #SundaySpotlight on #PublicHealth science, I’m shining a light on this @WSJ piece examining women being prescribed opioids after having a C-section. Read more:https://on.wsj.com/2wGMecy

      2/4 C-section pain can be severe and impede the ability for a new mom to care for her baby and/or herself- but opioids are often not the best option. @WSJ reports most hospitals sent new moms home with a prescription whether they asked for one or not. #OpioidAwareness

      3/4 But some hospitals are changing their processes and instead treating new moms with regularly scheduled & higher doses of over the counter pain meds (like Tylenol and Motrin), and successfully reducing the amount of opioids needed/ given – in the hospital and at home.

      4/4 Read more about these new efforts to better manage C-section pain and the work of some hospitals, like @ClevelandClinic, @PennAnesthesia, and @UW, where I spoke recently about my efforts to combat the #OpioidEpidemic.https://on.wsj.com/2wGMecy

          This is sick! Dear SG, have you ever been through a C-section? I’ve had 4, and until you have had your stomach and uterus sliced open, a kid pulled out along with your uterus, and then stitched up and sent on your way home in just 2-3 days to care for yourself, infant and others!

          Any thoughts on the liver disease epidemic of the late 2020s, or comments on the subsequent lawsuits against Tylenol and other acetaminophen drug dealers?

          When is govt going to sue gun manufacturers for "gun violence," and whiskey distributors for the many MORE alcohol-related deaths per year? Or is this selective Prohibition, because so many of you are profiting personally from the war on legal medicine (and on logic and reason)?
