Jeffrey A. Singer MD, Senior Fellow Cato Institute, November 9, 2021:
Based upon a neat, plausible, and wrong narrative, policymakers cast in stone the then-controversial Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain—the United States, 2016, etching into law what the CDC explicitly stated was not “settled science,” but what were instead meant to be general rules of thumb to aid practitioners.
Aware of the misinterpretation and misapplication of its 2016 guidelines, the CDC issued an advisory in April 2019. The agency announced in December 2019 that it planned to update its guidelines. And the FDA held a “public workshop” last August to ask if dosing based on morphine milligram equivalents was even evidence-based.
THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION
Jeffrey A. Singer MD, Senior Fellow Cato Institute:
The Drug Enforcement Administration just ratcheted down production quotas for all prescription opioids for the sixth consecutive year while doctors are terrorized into undertreating pain, or abruptly tapering and cutting off chronic pain patients from a medication that has allowed them to enjoy meaningful and productive lives.
Sadly, pain patients are the real victims of the false narrative, with documented increases in mental anguish and suicide from untreated or under-treated pain. Suicides among veterans are skyrocketing as opioid treatments have been curtailed in the Veterans Health Administration system.
MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A SUICIDE PARTY
