He wasn’t “prescribing too many”, he was just one of the only docs left in town that genuinely cared about his patients, and refused to turn any away. So, it ended up that he was treating some of the most severe cases from all over the country, and of course the most severe cases are going to require the most pain control. Because he wouldn’t turn people who were suffering so much away, like most other doctors nowadays, he got raided and accused of overprescribing… when in reality, he was APPROPRIATELY prescribing pain medication to people with very severe, documented, legitimate pain. It’s the rest of the doctors that are grossly underprescribing, which makes the few who choose to prescribe humanely, and insist on continuing to prescribe their patients with enough pain medication to actually control their pain, and provide some real relief and quality of life. He’s not the villain, the CDC, DEA and pharmaceutical companies are 100% the a$$holes here. All Dr Tennant has ever done is try and help people who are suffering, even now that he’s retired, it’s like he just can’t stop… and he knows that doctors like him are very hard to find, and will keep getting harder, especially the longer that chronic pain patients continue to be unfairly blamed for the opiate crisis. We’ve been made the scapegoat, even though prescribing numbers have gone way down, overdoses iron prescription medicines has gone way down… all the while, overdoses due to illegal fentanyl have just continued to skyrocket, but I guess it’s just easier for them to continue to blame us, even though we're clearly just the unlucky scapegoat, qnd sadly, are overall just way too sick to fight back, and try to change this narrative they've created.
