I would argue that 1. patients can be effectively screen for dependency risk, and 2 opioid dependency risk for older adults with chronic pain may not be as crippling than their untreated pain.<br /> In some cases doctors don't provide enough to manage the duration of pain or they refuse to renew prescriptions. I have twice experienced this concerning dental pain. I have also experienced it concerning osteoarthritis and neurosurgery. <br />So we have doctors witholding appropriate pain management and hospitals restricting access to pain clinc. Yet these patients may be eligible for assisted suicide to end their chronic pain suffering!<br />It's an unethical and very dangerous situation. <br /><br />Madellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429830888678597468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-66351889465918306302021-12-16T14:13:53.594-05:002021-12-16T14:13:53.594-05:00Well said Jeanne, can a da( the broken country} is...Well said Jeanne, can a da( the broken country} is a culture of death killing its own people from birth to elderly...
