Physicians worried prescription drug epidemic won't end with opioids - Business Insider

of physicians fear the opioid crisis will be traded for a new prescription drug crisis or higher use of illicit narcotics.While doctors walk a thin line between wanting to prescribe effective pain treatment and concerns over drug abuse, 72% of physicians fear that if chronic disease patients don't have access to opioids, they'll turn to illicit drugs instead.

And while it's promising to know that major health CEOs were summoned to federal court on Friday for their roles in the opioid epidemic— litigation doesn't bring the healthcare system any closer to a chronic pain solution.

Probably not! There will be another drug take over the epidemic!!

I understand the problem we have with people who don’t need opioids and doctors who force patients into them. But my problem is that there are many patients who actually need opioids to function due to pain. And I feel the real people in need get punished

I’ve had to argue with doctors because I refuse painkillers. Docs can either put down the Rx pad and pursue alternate pain management therapies for their patients...or they can be part of the problem.
