Pain Medication : the DEA's War on Pain Doctors
Pain management is a slippery decision. When my sister ran out of doctors in Iowa that would prescribe pain medication in high doses, she moved to Arizona and has started on a fresh batch of doctors. She has been on this train for over 20 years. |
You know me the skeptic. Who wrote this and why? Is the Village Voice the newsletter for the POA? Who is the author, Frank Owen? What is the DEA? This is an old article,(2003) why did the article mention Russ Limbaugh? hmmmm
Until I learn otherwise from someone, my opinion is that some pain management clinics are legit and some are illegal "pill mills" writing huge prescriptions for unknown ailments and feeding addicted folks.
Interesting and scary subject.
