  Don't forget pediatric hospitalists like me who take care of many #SCD kids. So stop sending us nastygrams for prescribing opioids for acute on chronic pain (I'm looking at you, @WSMA_update) #tweetiatricianhttps://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/1141482910727516162 …

  The CDC guidelines EXPLICITLY don’t apply to ER doctors. Huge amounts of opioids are not always helpful and may cause harm. Conscientiously trying to minimize opioid therapy for the benefit of patients isn’t the same as denying pain meds. #opioidcrisis #painmanagement #SickleCell

  Sickle cell anemia is just one of dozens of insanely painful medical conditions!! We are all humans in pain and now treated worse than animals!! Failure to treat and patient dumping has become epidemic!! #opioidstigma #opioidhysteria
