Hi All
I just received the attached in my e-mail.
I know we have been talking about pain meds.
This is from a medical clinic in Florida, but if your state is reducing the amount of pain meds they give out, I'm assume the article is similar to your state.

New State Law Impacts Narcotic Prescriptions

Starting July 1, the HB21 law will go into effect. Watson Clinic will proudly adhere to this law, which monitors and limits the process of narcotic prescriptions.

This legislation is diagnosis-based, limits the number of days a physician can prescribe a narcotic medication and requires that all medications in certain drug categories be reported to the state's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program system. Click here for more information.

Doctors have always occupied the lowest level of folks worthy of respect (in my experience); but has anyone else noticed how mindless they've become? Why has whoever's behind the drug gestapo tactics peddled so much utterly false information/facts that so many innocents seem to have bought? Fact:out of every 130 chronic pain patients who take opioids, 1 (yes, ONE) will become addicted. A doctor I no longer see began screaming at me, that I was trying to put her in jail, when I'd gone to see her when I knew I would be going through withdrawal, and as I have a seizure disorder could she give me something in case this happened? Sheesh. Maybe it's just California, eh? I lived in Minnesota for a year and loved the state: even gave my son, who was born there, the middle name Haacon, who was the king of Norway at the time . Probably I'm just blathering on because it makes me feel close to Minniapolis. Thanks for allowing me to babble!
