ESSENTIAL KEYS TO PROGRESS

Health disparities continue to have a tremendous impact on Kemetic families living in the United States throughout the years.  A flyer distributed by the US Department of Health and Human Services defines health disparities as the “differences in health outcomes closely linked with social, economic, and environmental disadvantages that are often driven by the social conditions in which individuals live, learn, work, and play.”  It is important for us to know what we are up against in order for us to plan activities so that we can Save-Our-Selves.

There was a time when we were in the care of Kemetic doctors, and we got our prescriptions filled by Kemetic pharmacists.  We had so much trust in them that we would set our appointments months ahead to be seen by them or her for medical care.  There were many other trustworthy doctors of various ethnicities serving patients in our inner cities who really cared and treated us with integrity.  Our health would stabilize or improve under their care.  Our doctors had practiced with all kinds of expensive medical equipment.  All of a sudden, our trusted care people were gone!  One would look around a healthcare facility and not see a single Kemetic (Black) doctor.

WHERE ARE OUR COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS???

It has recently come to my attention that nationwide, more than 1,450 medical personnel of all ethnicities – doctors, dentists, or pharmacists – have been prosecuted and/or indicted for “misappropriating” pain medications.   They were/are charged from the Controlled Substance Act, became targets of the “War on Drugs,” and were forced to be victims of civil forfeiture laws.  

“Civil forfeiture allows the government (typically the police) to seize — and then keep or sell — any property that is allegedly involved in a crime or illegal activity. Owners need not ever be arrested or convicted of a crime for their cash, cars, or even real estate to be taken away permanently by the government.”  https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/civil_forfeiture

These developments were brought to my attention in a community discussion of experts in the field of medicine.  This is all tied to covert and overt aggressions in denying Kemetic opportunities to maintain our selves, families, and communities to reinforce our abilities to thrive.  The best and the brightest, well-respected, exceptional medical providers as leaders in the community have had their reputations and property destroyed. This is all connected to regulatory racism.

Medical doctors are licensed by the State where they practice.  Similar incidents are occurring nationwide. Most of those who were indicted were seeing minority patients, and the targeting appears to be based on zip codes.  The Drug Enforcement Administration conducts its own Court.  

VOTING IS A MUST

I mention these incidents because patients in care who may be victims of seriously needing pain medications and were suddenly blocked or required to receive a reduced amount.  Patients may be able to let others know about similar experiences with each other.  These incidents do not happen in a vacuum – isolated all by themselves.  It’s important for us to become aware of social patterns that repeat themselves with a different face that results in destabilizing Kemetic communities and our ability to Save-Our-Selves. Voting is a must.

WAR ON DRUGS LAWS ARE PERPETRATED

Several agencies act in collusion with one another and operate in a web of mutual channels to snare and strategize, sealing arrests and ensuring eventual prosecution and indictments against professional Medical Doctors, Dentists, and Pharmacists.  Similar to the false and overworked narrative on crime, the War on Drugs laws are perpetrated – not against street-level pushers but individuals who have a high standing in the communities, offices with assets, expensive medical equipment, assets of cars, offices, and property.

“Under the authority of the Controlled Substance Act, the Drug Enforcement Agency and its Diversion Control Program have a Tactical Diversion Squad. Their Investigators have the authority to conduct investigations of doctor’s offices. 

This criminal enforcement wing combines resources and “expertise” to identify, target, investigate, disrupt and dismantle individuals or organizations involved in diversion schemes.  They participate in purchasing evidence, payment for information, surveillance, undercover operations, and executing search warrants when working cases against “overprescribing doctors.” [ CITATION Mil18 \l 1033 ]

The discussants in the community forum shared that there are 400 Kemetic doctors indicted and jailed for medical fraud.  Most of the charges were related to the prescriptions of legal Narcotic Analgesics (opioids) as pain medication.  Patients are known to take prescription drugs and resort to using street drugs if their prescription drugs were reduced or not available.

“CDC found the highest rates of fentanyl overdose was in the northeast, with much of New England -including Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island – reporting a full 60 to 90 percent of opioid overdose deaths involving fentanyl. Among these opioid deaths, non-Hispanic white men aged 25 to 40 had the greatest representation.  Cutting purer, weaker drugs with synthetic opioids has resulted in a sharp rise in fatal overdoses as dealers with little grasp on appropriate dosing sell mislabeled to unsuspecting users. “
