Access to Primary Care Clinics for Patients With Chronic Pain Receiving Opioids | Health Disparities | JAMA Network Open | JAMA Network

From 2019
"A total of 40.7% of clinics were not willing to schedule an appointment for a new patient who was currently taking opioids"
So nearly 1/2 as many docs must write nearly twice as many scripts as a result? Can you imagine doctors refusing to care for diabetics or heart patients? This is discriminatory at the very least. At worst, it's torture. Doctors should not be able to refuse to treat patients for pain. WHEN DID BEING A PAIN PATIENT BECOME A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?

ONE that I know of was FIRED.  FACEBOOK IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE. FOR MONTHS FACEBOOK SUPPRESSED THE TRUTH; CALLED POSTS ABOUT THE ZELENKO PROTOCOL "FALSE" AND LIMITED THE VIEWERSHIP, IF NOT BLOCKING THEM ALTOGETHER. THEY REMOVED THE VIDEOS OF THE DOCTORS' ANNOUNCEMENTS.  I think Facebook

The CDC Defends Its New Anti-Opioid Ad Campaign - Pacific Standard

This is insane. Only one half of one percent of prescription pain patients who take opioids addict. Read that again. One half of one percent. 99.5% never addict. Dependence isn't addiction.
