    Ack! @OHAOregon is planning on torturing Medicaid patients with chronic pain by mandating an involuntary opioid taper with coverage of acupuncture quackery instead, thanks to 3 acupuncturists and a chiropractor on the committee drafting the guidelines.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/08/22/scam-nonpharmacologic-treatments-for-pain/ …

        Dr. Gorski, do you have contrary evidence that long term chronic opioids is a good idea?

        I recently had a patient ICU for 6 days suffering a new diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy caused by opiate withdrawl. Her pain management doc was unconcerned with her symptoms of withdrawal. This will put many Oregonians at risk and should be stopped.

        Within the auriculear acupuncture community we long have a working model on how chronic pain differs from acute pain and treatment plans vary accordingly. The Battlefield Acupuncture protocol take this into effect for example.

        Would discuss further but I'm observing our skeptic surgeon friend is having a panic attack at the very thought of acupuncture. Still the show must go on...or is it "The Play's the thing that will capture the conscious of the King" ?

        An interesting anecdote from a friend, not patient, and a very long term medicized junkie who advises me on what's what in pharmaceuticals. He told me that his first acupuncture treatment was like the best morphine he ever had.

        However after a few treatments gave it up because it "got scary." In hindsight I think it was he was beginning to confront his own child abuse issues unmasked. Root of addiction, psychological pain before his very real physical pain.

        Another early learning case for me: famous woman author with reoccurring back pain came to me asking for acupuncture knowing it would get her through acute crisis. Also knew by experience if MD gave her pain pills she would in two weeks gravitate back to her narcotic of choice.

        This woman definitely had confronted her demons but had real need for temporary pain relief. So precision medicine or do we statically blur these two cause together?
