      This morning I'm speaking w/ fellow #anesthesiologists on the importance of combating the #OpioidEpidemic. We cannot operate in silos. We need partnerships & collaboration. No one knows the importance of teamwork, better than anesthesiologists! @ASALifeline @aafPpic.twitter.com/WfZcbV1xF5

      For me the #OpioidCrisis is personal. My baby brother, is currently serving in prison for things he did to support his addiction. I share my family’s struggle to illustrate that addiction can happen to anyone—even the brother of the SG. #NMA2019HNL

          I’m sorry but notall ppl who need pain relief do it because of addiction. Most of patients age 50 or older just need to relieve physical pain

          We cannot put an age on this. People of all ages suffer from Chronic pain and are being undertreated and forced to suffer due to an Addiction Crisis they had nothing to do with. Pain Patients do NOT abuse their meds. but use it to enable them a quality of

          Whose going to illustrate to this Nation that untreated pain is just as deadly as addiction? Who in government is going to speak for the millions of pain patients that are being denied any type of pain relief due to stories of addiction that have no bearing to their lives?

          For me, the opioid crisis is also personal. There are thousands of Voices on Twitter fighting to survive this hostile, discriminatory medical climate in a nation where their lives have been deemed unworthy of care. And WHO in government will illustrate their endless pain???

          You can bet the politicians & elite get treated as always, w/ appropriate paincare. Until they get treated as we do, they don’t care. How many in Congress hv gotten their or family members meds cut? Undoubtedly NONE! No one can tell me they’re all free from CP.

          So, now we know that this battle is indeed personal, to you, it is RETRIBUTION! Because of poor personal choices your brother made, you are making a nation of chronic intractable pain patients suffer because YOU don’t know addiction vs dependence. #opioidhysteria #GenocideofCPP

          Yeah and my sister has been addicted for 20 years and I'm smart enough to know it was her choice to take pain pills with the intention of getting high so I blame her, not Sally in Indiana who has fibromyalgia. Maybe I should be Surgeon General.

          "even the brother of the SG." ??? WTF makes him think he is so special? All of those politicians and dept heads think they are somehow magically immune from the maladies that infect regular people. 🙄🤨

          I don’t think that is the case. I think he is just reminding ppl it happens to everyone. But I would love to know if it started from a legal rx or not. That would be the important piece of info here.
