http://www.imshealth.com/en/about-us/news/events/dea-and-the-hospital-setting
The DEA claims that they want legit pts to get their needed pain medication.. yet … here is a webinar that is being presented on how the DEA is affecting hospital operations. If there is ever a setting where pts are in need of pain meds.. it should be a hospital.. yet is the DEA again stating one thing publicly and something totally different to its registrants ?

Steve; where you able to register for this conference? I tried to register and received message, “This event is full, thank you for your interest.” I would think with all of the health care and advocates, there would not be a limited amount; nothing in the information, noted there was a limited amount of space, via phone conference. I do hope you were able to register and attend. I am very interested in the conference, as related the the DEA and hospitals. Many will be undergoing treatments, surgeries over the next year; possibly even myself and I would rather be prepared for the event, than to be blindsided. The effect of the current climate with relation to treating pain, will have a large influence on many, including myself, decision on whether to undergo a surgery.
It is already affected the ER setting – whoever heard of going to the ER for a kidney stone and being denied any pain medication? What is next? Surgery without anesthetic? In which universe is this moral? Logical? I hope that everyone involved in making pain care unattainable for legitimate pain patients end up really really needing relief from acute or preferably chronic debilitating pain so they can enjoy their life as we are – NOT.
