Sorry this happened to you & others, but thank you for pushing forward!
Thank you Edith Fuog.
You’re so welcome, but no thank you’s are needed. We’re all in this together. Changes ARE coming! So please hang on!
That’s right! We ALL MUST really push Now!
Thank you is ABSOLUTELY justified here! As a nurse and chronic pain patient I am disgusted by the actions of so many pharmacies/pharmacists. I hope this lawsuit sets a precedent for all of us to be able to have some relief!
Thank you. My daughter is a nurse, currently working in an ER. She said it’s bad for chronic pain, she’s only seen it given to a few sickle cell patients. And Covid patients. For me personally, I’ve only had issues with Hospital’s and ER around 3 times out of probably 40 admissions since 2014. However, I go to the same hospital, and all my records are in front of them on their computers. I know I’m extremely lucky. However, I don’t have much luck with pharmacies and pharmacists! It’s a nightmare. And I know I’m blessed because I actually have an amazing Pain Management Dr who’s been treating me for 8 years. I’m terrified he’ll retire soon. He’s told me he won’t until things get better for CPP’s, but that might be another 10 years!
I do have hope that it’ll get better, at least with pharmacies. Next up: state/federal laws protecting us, and possibly against a few major insurance companies for refusing to cover opioids prescriptions.
PS – thank YOU, Kim! You are brave and courageous doing a hard job, saving lives! I am thankful for you and all the amazing nurses wanting to make us all healthier!
