Now if the ER and Pain Management docs around here would not undermine all the hard work I put into getting people off or doses down by giving them narcotics for a carbuncle life would be good!
One arm of the gov't is fighting the other. CMS has put pressure on ER's to address the "vital sign" of pain and they have to make sure every patient leaves the ER happy with their opioids and signing a favorable survey. On the other hand, the DEA is coming after doctors for prescribing the opioids: it's ridiculous!
