I have never seen so many half-truths and outright incorrect statements regarding pain management in my life. Good job Tina, your article is a piece of shit.

1. the lying witnesses to the trial – who admitted deceiving Dr. McIvey – and got prescriptions of higher opioid doses to be sold, never got punished nor subjected to any prosecution?
2. the DEA to whom doctors pay a fee for registration, won’t help in tracking down suspected abuse in the guise of not wanting to be “involved in the practice of medicine”; yet, they determine whether an undefined line of overprescription is traversed – like they are practicing medicine by setting the limits at which patients can be treated?
3. is it because there are less doctors, with many encumbrances, that are easier to control and track than liars who will deceive these same doctors trying to help pain patients?
4. WHERE IS JUSTICE IN ALL OF THESE???
