I've read that pharmacies are actually denying some patients their pain meds, especially if the prescription is new. And in at least one case, a terminally ill cancer patient in hospice had a prescription denied by a pharmacy.

I realize that these drugs are highly addictive and even dangerous. But until the pharma companies come up with a safer alternative, denying relief to people in pain is just plain cruel.

My brother is in hospice in the terminal stage of cancer and without the pain meds would be screaming until he loses his voice.

All the big chains, Walmart, Walgreen’s CVS limit CANCER patients to 60 MG when their Oncologist write 90 Mg. 92% of Cancer patients are sent home on Standard dose 325 mg Tylenol.

It’s plain out Torture on the Level of the Hanoi Hilton, Japan and Nazi did.

Hip replacement surgery patients are getting standard 2 tabs 325 MG Tylenol.

Heart Attack deaths and Suicides are on the rise from Veterans who were hit first, then the civilian population.

FDA had to force the CDC to recant the FAKE numbers they used, and all they did was say we may have over exaggerated and our “GUIDELINES were MISAPPLIED by all 50 states.

Tennessee has 64 pain clinics, for an entire state. Over 300 shut down in 1 day, left 65. 1 more has since closed. Leaving 64 and the are concentrated around large cities not Rural areas.

For some with chronic pain, ‘life isn’t worth living’

How can a long term clinical study on opioids be done if there are no doctors able to prescribe long term opiates because the FDA won’t allow it? I guess a couple thousand people in special University studies after 5-10 years? That’s prohibition.

Insane. I just pray that one of these fools gets an intractable painful condition and suffers immensely as they make their way to Hell.

Prescriptions for opioid are down, opioid deaths are up. More doctors in prison than ever and drug dealers and DEA have more money and business than ever.

Disgusting.

IF you re in Hospice, getting hooked long term is a contradiction.
