Why don't doctors use the intractable pain laws
      #100425 - 09/15/03 08:33 PM

Most states make it legal for doctors to prescribe narcotics if certain criteria are meet. This criteria varies from state to state. But it protects the doctor assuming he is not just running a perscription for hire practice.

Why doesn't the medical community stand up and use these laws and tell the DEA and the government to shove it?

Because, like it or not, it is still a lot smarter (despite the laws) to err on the side of underprescribing than being liberal about it. Doctors get one shot -- they blow it, they cannot make a living.

This is particularly true where you have a certifiable psychopath like Ashcroft running this country's federal law enforcement.

While most states have these so-called laws, it's the DEA and Goverment that usually decide who is in compliance. If the doctor isn't a certified PM Doctor, they are usually looked at as practicing outside their area of expertise. Most medical boards have a history of agreeing with the Goverment and a Doctor accused will at best, spend a lot of money trying to defend their practice. There will always be at least 1 or 2 junkies who con them and then testify against the Doctor to avoid charges. We wouldn't need op's if the medical community would treat chronic pain as a legitimate desease. There are many Doctors who see CP as a moral flaw. If antibiotics caused euphoria, death to the patient might be what the governing bodies consider proper treatment. Drug abusers make us all pay the consequence!
