      (3/4) @NIH & others are re-examining chronic pain, hoping to develop new approaches to predicting and preventing this disease that impacts 50 M adults in the 🇺🇸. Just last wk they issued 375 awards in 41 states to accelerate scientific solutions -https://bit.ly/2nAhwAy

          We are dying waiting on some common sense to prevail. Opioids are a NEEDED medication. I am dealing with chronic pancreatitis and colon cancer, It is absurd to think Tylenol is effective enough for this kind of pain. #AMericanGenocide #OpioidHysteria

          It's very obvious what the problem is, and what the problem is NOT. It's largely an illicit street drug epidemic now, any part the medical community played was dealt with; deaths rise because the main problems are NOT being addressed while continuing to blame patients and doctors

          The money is not to help chronic pain patients. It is to pay for lies appearing as research to justify the government taking away pain medication. Chronic pain patients already know what works: the medications you keep justifying removing from the arsenal needed to treat pain

          Holistic medicine- your “interpretation” involves singularly focusing on mental status-scapegoating pts-as if all physical pain arises from mental anguish, putting pts in jeopardy for misdiagnosis, denied access to care, complications, abandonment, stigma & accelerated mortality!pic.twitter.com/J13zcbUu1h

          The surgeon general should resign immediately as he has repeatedly shown he has no compassion or empathy for patients. He probably went to trump university! Your a disgrace sunshine 👹

          I wouldn’t be bragging- It’s not very impressive that the fed. government is bribing states to cooperate with fixing studies to support a political agenda- That includes using American citizens as guinea pigs. Seems we’ve been down this road before- https://grants.nih.gov/grants/peer/guidelines_general/Guidelines_for_the_Review_of_the_Human_Subjects.pdf …
