    If we want to end the opioid epidemic, we must work to address the root causes of abuse. That’s why @SenCoryGardner and I introduced legislation to limit opioid prescriptions for acute pain to 7 days. Because no one needs a month’s supply for a wisdom tooth extraction.

        My mother has stage 4 lung and brain cancer. You want to tell me to my face that she gets 7 days of pain management?

        Watch my toddler son in excruciating pain where the only thing allowing him to rest, eat, and heal is opioid painkillers and then take this proposal back and start over.

        As a cancer doctor, I find this a horrifically bad idea that won't anything to decrease opioid abuse. What it will do, in contrast, is to make the lives of chronic pain sufferers much worse and make it MUCH harder for their doctors to take care of them. WTF were you thinking?

        Last year, the State of Michigan implemented a similar law. It's a disaster. It makes it harder for doctors to adequately treat patients' pain and hugely inconveniences patients. It's a horrible law. It's done nothing thus far to decrease opioid abuse.

        Sorry @gillibrandny and @SenCoryGardner, this ain't it. I'm an emergency physician who has seen this opioid epidemic first hand and cares a great deal about these patients along with solving this crisis.https://longreads.com/2018/09/20/hating-big-pharma-is-good-but-supply-side-epidemic-theory-is-killing-people/ …

        As a follow up to this, and rather than just suggest that this isn't a good idea for legislation, I'd like to propose a better legislative move: Removing the X-waiver for prescribing buprenorphine / Suboxone, which is used in treating opioid use disorder.

        As someone who has treated many 100’s of people addicted to opiates: that’s a clinically vacuous waste of energy. Address the prescribers & pharma who are corrupt; don’t practice medicine you don’t understand via simplistic, erroneous assumptions. Address root causes, not memes.

        Well, she did state "for acute pain" so I suppose we'd need to read the full info to see it's impact on those of us with chronic pain with an established care plan. I don't think it's a matter of law, it's a matter of funds towards rehab ctrs.
