I am curious if there are any doctors out
there who do not actually allow the DEA to
dictate the proper management of pain.
There is something wrong when the one poor
individual who wrote (PAIN MANAGEMENT
DOCTOR PROBLEM) entry down below had to
endure mental anguish in ADDITION TO
HIS/HER ailment. I am speaking
specifically to doctors who have allowed
themselves to be coerced and brainwashed
into believing their practice will become
the cornerstone for an individual starting
to use illicit drugs? The only thing these
scare tactics accomplish is to make
doctors equate drugs of healing to drugs
of hurt and force them to become law
enforcement people. And HMMM the use of
these drugs are being marketed all over
the place!! Dont believe me?? Just look at
all the pens, paper pads and calenders
they get from these drug companies!!! IS
THIS THE TWILLIGHT ZONE?? And if doctors
DARE be NON-COMPLIANT and actually help
patients...Woops their goes their
licenses!!!
What the heck is going on??

This is utter nonsense. There is no
evidence of such allegations of sweeping
governmental big brother incursion into
the medical practice of legitimate
physicians. There are physicians that
sell drugs for sex, prescribe drugs to
those they know are selling the drugs, get
kickbacks from patients selling the drugs
on the street, etc. These doctors belong
in jail, period. There was an exhaustive
study of DEA actions against doctors and
the amount is less than 0.05% per year of
the doctors in practice. There are very
bad doctors that sometimes run afoul of
the DEA, not for prescribing medications,
but for violating felony laws. There are
far more patients doing the same, but most
escape the DEA.
