Last week I participated in the initial meeting of @POTUS’ PREVENTS suicide prevention task force with @samhsagov @CDCInjury and @VeteransHealth - There are so many opportunities for us all- especially #medtwitter - to intervene. #nowrongdoorpic.twitter.com/lVXtDfhiiG
2017 - 1,400,000 #Suicide attempts!
47,173 took their life!
#Minnesota data shows 783!
Is @CDCgov tracking suicides from untreated or undertreated #pain yet? Is @DeptVetAffairs?
Look up your national & state data for the #suicidecrisis in this link:

@AndrewYang: only 1% of all ppl have genetic predisposition to addiction. Hasn’t changed in 100 yrs.
In the U.S., only 0.92% (less than 1%) of all opioid users are addicted. Preventing 99% from receiving pain meds is unconscionable. Expect @TheDemocrats to know better! 
These statistics emphasize & highlight need to treat pain effectively, including the use of opioid pain medicine, pt are evidently walking out the door of their doctor’s office & within a short time frame- taking their own lives. Epic healthcare policy fail! #suicidedue2pain
In 
US 47,000 died by #Suicide in 2017
A (33%) increase since 1999
How many were #SuicideDueToPain?
Pain patients are being put at HIGH RISK. Not being adequately treated/abandoned
#ChronicPain is SERIOUS
Why Untreated Chronic Pain is A Medical Emergencyhttps://edsinfo.wordpress.com/2015/04/15/why-untreated-chronic-pain-is-a-medical-emergency/ …
#SuicideDue2Pain that's ignored, untreated, and uncontrolled. How many were stable on legally prescribed opioid pain medicine? There is no effective alternative to this medicine; vilifying it and shaming veterans who do well on it is causing an increase in veteran suicides. Fact.
This topic needs to include the pain patients being cut off their pain meds & contemplating or completing Suicide.https://medium.com/@ThomasKlineMD/opioidcrisis-pain-related-suicides-associated-with-forced-tapers-c68c79ecf84d …
People who commit #SuicideDue2Pain commit suicide why? P-A-I-N. Stop under treating or denying treatment for pain to people who are in chronic or intractable pain. Notice so many visited doctors? These Drs likely denied them treatment: then they committed suicide in desperation.
Imagine being lied to & tortured by the drs patients are supposed to be able to trust.That is EXACTLY what MILLIONS of chronic pain patients are experiencing! Out of FEAR of the DEA the severely taper or cut off their pain meds KNOWING their PAIN IS REAL & plunging them into HELL
2)ALL BECAUSE THE GOV IS LYING TO THE PUBLIC! Sure..over prescribing of pain meds 15-20yrs ago did AT THAT TIME increase addiction rates. BUT that HAS NOT been the case in nearly 2 DECADES! & the gov KNOW THIS! Its the ILLEGAL drugs flooding into our country causing addiction/ODs
Withdraw people from their long-term, non-abused pain meds without a taper or any compassion and this is what happens. The VA withholds from cancer pts too. I have proof. #SuicideDueToPain #painpatientsvote
