Any idea why I cant see the tweets that are being posted? I'm able to see gifs, meme, & pics. But tweets are not showing up and I was able to see them yesterday with no problem. Even when I try to click on them nothing happens.

Yessir. My job is to help improve my patients’ quality of life. Acute injuries are easy if caught and treated correctly.

It’s the transition to chronic issues that are the life altering injuries. The problem with most is that it becomes a multi factorial problem. Sometimes if you find the right treatment for the right etiology, then it falls like dominoes.

Other times, you have to identify each an every problem and treat them individually. I will endeavor to help as long as the patient is willing to participate.

The three biggest contrIbuting factors to treatment failures in my practice are nicotine use, obesity and patient noncompliance. Try getting a nicotine addicted person to stop so that their body can heal. Hint, the nicotine in one cigarette can stop all healing in the human body. That’s why nicotine addicts all look older.
I explain the effects of obesity and body mechanics, but that frequently falls on deaf ears…
Sometimes, the fix is as simple as regaining flexibility, but getting patients to buy in to something so simple is tough too.

Now, I have plenty of patients that they have so many issues, injuries, co-morbid medical issues that the battle is too much. Those folks find relief in opiates, then I prescribe them.

The only issue that I have with Kratom is the potential for severe consequences if mixed with other substances. I have patients who have much better relief with it than any prescribed medication. We actually test for it in out urine drug screens and pre-op labs. Same with marijuana. Both are dangerous especially when mixed with anesthesia…
I don’t terminate patient relationships if if they violate their opiate agreement. I educate them about the dangers of mixing substances. If they violate twice, then they can still receive treatment, but opiates are no longer an option.
Patients usually understand that I am not condemning them, but I am not willing to lose my medical license because they can’t follow the rules.
Sorry, this was too long. Don’t read. 😷

I will say that personally, I think that the opioid crisis is way overblown by the media and politicians. At least in my practice and my group. It’s a problem for 5-10% of opiate users, but the other 90% have to suffer…
I live in constant never-ending mid-extreme pain...I have for the last twenty five years. I know what works and what doesn't.
 
I know my experience with opiates is anecdotal. Growing up in Nashville in the 90s, it wasn't an issue. In my 20s in Florida, it was crazy. There were pain clinics on every corner. Most of the friends that died were in service trades and injured at work. Then addiction got them. A good friend got over on me for a few hundred dollars for a stereo system. I didn't even want to put my hands on him. I was just so worried about how far he was gone. He died a year later in a gas station bathroom.

A lot of the federal laws now are due to how out of control the prescription mill clinics in Florida were. You could walk in with a $100 and leave with a prescription.

There was a doctor in Dallas that did that. All cash $50 or $100. Drug dealers would line up the homeless and run them through his clinic.
Dumbass got caught because he deposited $2 million at one time in the bank that his normal family practice used…bank calls the FBI and bye bye freedom.

That story was repeated so many times in Florida. The docs there almost can’t prescribe any anymore.

Next Weezer post will be telling me to fund NIL this way. No Weezer just no. 😈

Those are the places where it’s all about the cash. Scary as hell.

No more paper prescriptions for opiates. Must be sent electronically now. Pharmacy has to report it to the state. Can’t prescribe without checking patient’s prescription prescription history. Great system, but not every state participates. Not federally mandated yet , yet our government is waging a war on addiction to opiates. Buncha DC dumbasses.

I would never suggest you fund NIL this way.

Just that you fund NIL. How you do it is up to you.
 
As the Doc said, they all have their own high(or low)lights.

Tobacco kills approximately 500,00 Americans a year. Little Jefferson City recently had 5 opioid overdose deaths in a 5 week period. Right now, overdose is the big attention-getter, and is a major pandemic in it's own right, but tobacco deaths continue year after year, pretty much under the radar.

Because it’s not sensational news.
Responsible journalists would report it, but they are extinct. 😐
 
Not calling you dishonest or anything like that at all. . . .I am having a hard time believing it is in the same ballpark as addictive, either physically or mentally. On common ground, it would barely be talked about. I mean to say, that all things equal - such as legal availability, price, social acceptance, etc. - it seems that opiates and alcohol would dwarf tobacco in general addiction rates.

I don't know why try to learn about stuff like this, curiosity I suppose, but the suggestion that tobacco is more physically and mentally addictive is not something I thought would be a fact.
I quit them all....meth-heroin-alchohol-marijuana-cigarettes...the same week. It is hard for me to say at the time what was worse because it was all thrown in together, but when all was said and done nicotine was the hardest because the cravings for tobacco were there long after all the other withdrawals were over...and it was in my face EVERYWHERE I went, other than when at home I could not avoid it.
