Look at it like the patient.
For the first time in a generation, our doctors can't be counted on, no matter how sick you are, or how much pain you're in, or maybe even if you die.
Having a doctor for 20 years becomes like family, the relationship is/was trust based.

Most of us are underlings in someone else's company. But we don't make life and death decisions. A quantitative error on the quarterly report usually doesn't kill.
We have to hold medical staff to higher standards.

I'm afraid that doctors are going to have to choose & I'm very afraid they've already chosen.
The death toll will increase. I'm really horrified by how few lay persons know anything at all about the basics of caring for themselves medically & depend on doctors entirely.

Call me and I'll tell you what I do have.
These doctors are just deviant. What a horrendous way to treat people. 😡

I wished I had what you needed.
My husband's 88 year old aunt is getting Xanax from Mexico. Her granddaughter travels for work and the whole family is tired of doctors letting her struggle with insomnia and shorten her life.

Crones and nuns made the best apothecaries, doctor's precursors and medicine's future. 😁

My Dad liberated a camp in WWII. His grandson doesn't know the name of a single concentration camp.
How sad is that?

And misogyny. They want women dead while thighs are firm and boobs are still high.

My husband collects knives and watches a knife channel. The presenter showed knives that had images of WWII Flying Tigers. She clearly had no idea where the images came from.

That's murder.
The murderer has the skill to save women's lives but refuses to use it because they care more about their job security and student loan payments than the Hippocratic oath.

This isn't the first opiate war on patients. This is the 3rd and most heinous of my lifetime.
Do you know who put an immediate to stop to every attempt to attack patients in pain in the 80's and 90's?
Doctors did. They had integrity. We were a capitalist nation then too.

If doctors continue to try to see patients, but refuse to treat, they're violating their oath. They're actively dangerous today.
Doctors bowed down to PDMP. They gave power to the creation that will track pregnant women too. They not only damaged medical care generally, they damaged the country.

There's the "Hippocratic Suggestion, And Only If Your Lawyer Okays It" again.
Check out the history of the UFW. Farmworkers had no $, no respect, no citizenship. But they sure had guts.

My husband flipped on it for a few minutes, but the quality of the music and sound was so tinny and screechy that he turned it off pretty quick.

They voted for him to make you scared and upset, and kill you outright or shorten your life.
Respect for, care for, and kindness towards the elderly are not Republican qualities.

Doctors didn't want to provide "guidance".
They wanted absolute control because it was the only way to insure the DEA didn't darken their doorway.You don't insult, demand pill counts, & pee test patients over "guidance".
So doctors threw people with complex or painful disease under the bus.

We must be going to other countries for drugs.
It sure couldn't be humane care, could it? That would be unthinkable as the US is exceptional. Must be the drugs. 🙄

Speaking of "monitoring", over on X, I heard of the contract of a "PM specialist" in CO. I was so appalled that I called him & outed him.
The dick had a weigh in for his middle aged lady patients. No loss, no meds.
How anyone can defend these creeps is beyond me.

No one should be left with nothing but NSAIDS for decades. And that's what private equity, the DEA, and corporate counsel wants.
They've just chosen a way for a more complex patient to die in a way that won't cause litigation.

Many smart people get better care from other countries, including dental care.
Is there nothing that isn't suspicious about patients these days?

Being competent means that in '73, I cut my already tiny dose into 4. I invented microdosing for myself. My dose has never increased in 50 years & I rarely take more than half a dose only at night.
I never needed a hovering doctor because I handled my own care. Keep that hysteria to yourself.

I've been handling my meds, including opiates, without Daddy Doctor's hysteria for 60 years. My parents insured that I understood the disease & any risk quite well from the time I was 17. I don't require, & will not tolerate "management". I'm a competent adult, so acknowledge it in my care.

Most would have to leave. I'm old, arthritic & creaky. I'd have to go. They hate seniors & the disabled too.
But Kaiser could use doctors...real doctors. And someone should toss every pain management fake everywhere back to anesthesia in OR's. We could at least have ICE do something helpful. 😁
