Re: Extremist Physicians FDA Petition to Ban Opioids in Chronic Pain/Dr. Rosemary Orr, MD Seattle WA

[Guest guest]

This particular physician had a son who died of an over dose of Oxycontin in

2006.  Certainly appears that she is an " unbiased " poster of opinions and

medical knowledge.

While this is a tragic situation, her personal experiences should not have a

personal consequence for literally thousands of other people.

Just my humble .02

This radical group says they are only trying to stop drug companies

overmarketing narcotics to physicians.

HOWEVER: the number one drug prescribed in America, hydrocodone, is not marketed

to physicians. It is a generic drug and there is no marketing from

pharmaceutical companies. Same for Roxicodone, Percocet, MS Contin, Methadone,

short acting dilaudid, ultram, demerol, etc. All these are generic and receive

no marketing at all.

Their true aim is to stop doctors from prescribing high doses of opioids under

the unproven premise that it will reduce deaths.

e,

There is bias and it is against legitimate patients who require opoid therapy

and long term studies have showed they are not bad as they say.

All need to go to the Washington State Pain Act which is just guidelines from a

group of physicians and " other " professionals doing this because the high

incidence of opoid overdose. It is ironic that this Dr. Orr is from Washington

state where they have reduced dosages because of increased overdoses. I wonder

if she is a member of the group that developed the guidelines. I will have to

research.

This alarms me as they allow " assisted suicide " called Dying with Dignity, funny

as my college thesis was named that. So they allow patients with six months or

less to live (how do they know that ) to have two bottles of barbiturates to OD

themselves !

So they want to regulate the amount of opoids we can be administered per day. I

encourage each member to check their state pain laws and if any legislature

going through to regulate opoids.

This is important as you can't petition this after it becomes law. Hope this

information helps. Bennie
