If it is not pain pills the same people would have used street drugs. The answer is in offering program for people who need help in dealing with stress and other ways to deal with acting out. The people who I feel sorry for is the REAL PAIN PATIENT. The laws will be passed to make it harder for the pain patient to get medical tx and even maybe making the pain patients who really need the meds, to buy there meds from a drug dealer. A real pain patient is going to get pain meds from somewhere, they won't sit and suffer trust me, I don't care if the pain patient is a Lawyer, Judge or street cleaner, they will get drugs or meds, they have too or take there own life. Also I really feel sorry for the pain MD's have fear of spending the rest of there life in prison for tx of the pain patients. The DEA reacts to press and Media and they have a war on any MD who see's pain patients. Pain Patients are leaving medical centers to be pulled over by DEA/Police Drug Units. Living your life in pain is a personal HELL and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.... Unless your a reporter who writes stories like this as they can't find a real story to write about. In Florida last year they turned down an anti-doctorshopper bill and this year the Bill is on they table again. It works using the patients finger prints (No Name, Address or or patient information) and will save life's and stop any drug dealers who doctor-shop. This Bill NEEDS to be a NATIONAL BILL and save thousands of lives and let the real pain patients get MD tx without fear for the patient or MD.
