        As an anesthesiologist & Surgeon General, you are in a unique position to help ppl with painful conditions who are the casualties of this #illicitfentanylcrisis! The pendulum has swung too far, #opioidhysteria is widespread. Pain patients are paying the price, some are dying.

        Balance is the correct choice for most everything. Anything at a extreme is usually going to result in a negative.... Thus the NEEDLESS SUFFERING AND DEATHS due to this literally INHUMANE OPIOID HYSTERIA.....

        @cdcgov and other anti-opiate zealots have created a medical environment in which chronic pain pts are scorned, mistreated, discriminated against, and openly treated as third-class citizens. The most hateful and bigoted provocateurs are currently hailed as heroes in academia.

        I won’t insert my doctors name but my doctor was happy the day I said no to a Tylenol 4 prescription he asked me why I told him I take a herb called Kratom. He researched it and was happy I no longer need Tylenol 4. I’m now a healthy weight from 110 to 137 and still going up

        I would see it a lot with our SCD patients during crisis. They are not drug addicts but develope a tolerance to certain Pain Meds. Thank goodness for Pain Mgt specialists.

        As #OpioidHysteria increases, pain clinics are not taking on patients already on opioids who need medication mgt & they're refusing to prescribe for new patients. Existing patients are cut. Drs used to recognize tolerance but will not anymore. Drs are afraid

        I would like to add my former PM and highly regarded anesthesiologist studied kratom, had a cup and was impressed. I'd love to have a cup of tea with you and discuss the health benefits I have thumb drives with research I could give you

        I’m an #IntractablePain person using #kratom instead of opioids for pain control. It works for me but not everyone so please keep all options available. People are dying without adequate pain relief.
