   If people that suffer from chronic pain got the pain medications they need less homicides would happen because of those that suffer get so fed up being in chronic pain they may rob a store and get shot or shoot someone take off in their car and die in a car accident.

   If people that suffer from chronic pain got the pain medications they needed there would be less overdoses from heroin or alcohol related deaths.

   If people that suffer from chronic pain got the pain medications they needed less suicides would happen.

   If people that suffer from chronic pain got the pain medications they needed less people would die from doctors prescribing off label use of medications not meant for chronic pain that the FDA approves.

   So that covers all but drowning and motorcycle deaths of the chart showed here.
   One thing leads to another and this is how people with chronic pain die when they don’t get the pain medications they need to be as pain free as possible.

   So stop denying much needed medications to those that suffer from chronic pain so less people die from heroin, alcohol ,car accidents, suicides ,side affects from off label use of FDA approved medications some doctors think will help peoples pain.

   Denying pain medications from those that suffer from chronic pain can cause a sudden heart attack ,meaning they died not from pain medication but from being denied much needed pain medications .

   Not to mention those that get more depressed each day pain medications are withheld from those that truly suffer from chronic pain that can drive a person to the brink of madness, then who knows what might happen.

   And on and on it goes, when will this stop no one knows.

   I think your visual aide should qualify for a Nobel award. Why can’t the important people like those that make laws realize that they are focusing on the wrong areas. How hard must it be?

   This is an epidemic: “Now comes a study in the current issue of the Journal of Patient Safety that says the numbers may be much higher — between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year who go to the hospital for care suffer some type of preventable harm that contributes to their death.”
