The targeting of Nasser Hospital is an outrage and a war crime that we watched unfold live over the past two weeks. Health care workers must be protected #NotATarget

Just like alcohol.

Jennifer Oliva TameraLynn Stewart #P3A #WeFight4U b/c #PainSucks Ryan Marino, MD MT (pretty sure) has all prescriptions, not just controlled, put into the PDMP-if agency rule making is all it’s taking to add things, I’d like to spit in the eye of everyone who laughed at me when I said PDMP will be used to identify Mifepristone recipients ANY DAY NOW. 🖤

Apparently, PharmedOut has never heard about 'people living in glass houses!'

They cite a 2011 article by Dr. Hale in which he actually APPROPRIATELY DISCLOSED a financial relationship with Purdue Pharma. If only their KOLs were as transparent. 🙄

The EHR should be a decentralized infrastructure platform for the public good. Patients should own and control our own data. Not this current mess.

I was hesitant to post this because I am not taking a political side or stance on this issue.

This is just proof of how DC really works.

The GOP & DNC leaders decide who votes for what, regardless of what’s right or wrong & regardless of how the elected official feels.

Vultures picking the MDL carcass...

Systematic conflation of #IllicitFentalogues with prescription drugs to advance an AGs career & pry money back from an opioid distributor.

This is breathtakingly horrific! #JoeRannazzisi is a monster. Where is all his evidence of addiction from 3000 BC? I’d LOVE to read it! Because whenever I’ve looked into the history of “addiction” the furthest back I’ve found is the civil war…

That makes so much more sense than helping people who have an addiction for some reason that’s not well understood.😡

Delighted to testify today on the danger of 'quality' metrics that end up doing harm.

Heroin is heroin. Please ignore the many mainstream media “liquid heroin” stories bc they are so incredibly uninformed and ignorant that I don’t even know where to begin. People can’t inject solids… “Liquid heroin” is a pharmaceutical medicine in most countries in the world FWIW

1/🚨Great to see an advisory group for Medicaid & CHIP voted to suggest removing the 90-MME opioid dose threshold as a Medicaid/CHIP measure. It's a small step. But there was explicit discussion of harms already caused by the measure. Both Kate Nicholson & I testified

Hopkins Comments to the CDC docket in 2015 for the opioid guideline. Look who signed it. Also, there was evidence that an opioid guideline had hurt pts b/c Drs & pts sued WA state for that very reason a few years before this. I have the receipts. They knew.downloads.regulations.gov/CDC-2015-0112-…

Even though I’m #heartbroken today, I am hopeful 2024 will be a turning point in #opioid #policy for patients in #pain .

Not just in Okla, but across the US & federally.

Our fed bills are only on hold while I recover from an Oct injury & Jan surgery. They’re still on!

2024 #OkLeg is dedicated to Dr Lawerence Pasternak

I’ll focus on 3 things:

1) continue his work on Medicaid/hospice bill
2) push like hell to pass our bill to erase any mention of mme & hold those responsible for harms accountable
&
3) expand harm reduction services here in Ok
