      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

      As I endured an emergency TVAH, opiates got me through the crisis and within a week I was down to one a day. It eased my suffering and I did not develop a dependence. Until you experience post op pain yourself and the agony it brings, you really don’t know.

      Agree. My wife has had several abdominal/ pelvic surgeries- best 1 w no opioids. As stated multiple times, everyone is different, some people do need opioids, but the studies show that on average MOST people do MUCH better with opioid sparing regimens. http://nsc.org/Portals/0/Docu …

          I’m sorry to hear that. Can you imagine if surgery did not fix your wife’s pain? If after recovery, she was told she would have to live in that same amount of pain the rest of life? That is a part of what I endure. Every day. Every hour. I’m glad their are alternatives for surger

          Everyone in Congress can get any opioid they want anytime whilst the average American Citizen that has chronic pain is treated like a syphilic leperous junkie. Congress' honey pot has dried up and now they are searching for another sugar daddy from big pharma.

          Studies showed just the opposite as well. The field is broken, because the science is bought or ideologically bent too often.
