      Putting in some work in the ORs at ⁦@WRBethesda⁩ - got to help with some interesting cases and saw several people get Tylenol and other meds to help provide anesthesia and post-op pain relief with minimal opioids. They all woke up comfy and happy! 😃 ⁦@ASALifeline⁩pic.twitter.com/J5ukgkok37

      Posting limited info like this is misleading and irresponsible. This suggest Tylenol is sufficient as the main source for post-op analgesia. It is not. Please try to be more responsible with your messages.

      studies show 1000mg of Tylenol is equivalent to 6mg of morphine. Which is more than I’ve given quite a few patients in the OR. And I’ve definitely given patients only Tylenol and toradol (like ibuprofen) and had them wake up with minimal pain. Not for everyone but it does work!

      Can you please provide the link to the study showing 1000mg of Tylenol = 6mg Morphine?

      Here’s a full report from @NSCsafety that shows an even bigger effect. They reviews multiple studies and found, “that an injection of 10 mg of morphine is roughly equivalent to an oral dose of OTC ibuprofen.” https://www.nsc.org/Portals/0/Documents/RxDrugOverdoseDocuments/Evidence-Efficacy-Pain-Medications.pdf …

      And here’s a study where 1000mg IV Tylenol was found equivalent to IV morphine (based on body weight, but in some cases greater than 6mg) - note, rib fractures are EXTREMELY painful!https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4608332/ …

          And here’s an article w different studies comparing Tylenol to Morphine- including one where they found 1000mg equivalent to 10mg of morphine. 😮 -> Hope this helps! I found them all w 5 minutes on google. Lots of evidence for efficacy/ equivalence/ superiority of non opioids!

          Thank you Inga!!! He is spreading propaganda. I never thought America could become so corrupt. Since George Bush Sr, there has been a steady downward spiral. Each administration since has gotten worse.

          When they studies are being rigged for desired outcomes it’s pretty easy to claim all sorts of things work but it doesn’t mean it’s remotely true. We have seems these first hand

          This study was for rib fractures.. not surgical analgesia. Also, not sure how many ppl regard a medical study from Tehran, Iran a reliable source. For our US Gen Surgical to post a study like this as supporting proof of his above tweet is rather disappointing.

          I used to be proud to be an American. I used to trust Surgeon General. I'm shocked by this tweet. You have blood on your hands. Millions will not have life saving surgerys now because of propaganda like this including me. So so sad!

          Had fractured ribs and continued to work as an RN. Couldn't do the same after an industrial accident that left me with occipital neuralgia, 2 herniated disc, subsequent ACDF's and dx with heads.
