A conversation with Dr. Terri Lewis thought leader for opioid policy reform
There are many prominent researchers working behind the scenes to rectify erroneous opioid policies at the state and federal levels. Among these silent researchers, Dr. Terri Lewis’s work rings the loudest.
She has redefined the very meaning of data in the opioid epidemic, conducting one of the largest behavioral surveys on opioid use and the experience of chronic pain.
Through her research, we now know of inherent biases within the data used in opioid risk stratification, and the implications of these biases on the lives of chronic pain patients across the country.

CRIMINALIZATION OF MEDICAL CARE TREATMENT
CONGRESS MUST CLEAn up this mess
FOR NOW, YOU ARE WITHIN
THE NORMS
Thank you. I think the money available to a certain few in the DOJ/AG to control for the ‘suing’ of pharmaceutical manufacturing in ‘court’ for “fueling opioid crisis” is the prime mover in the injustice done to doctors of medicine and the abandoned, incurable, severe pain patients.
