[quote=Anonymous]Remember, too, that there was a big push in the 80s and 90s that "pain is an emergency" and that pain was being undertreated & not taken seriously. This wasn't just a "big pharma" push -- it was patient advocacy. And so more pain meds were prescribed, by at least an order of magnitude. And now there is pushback because of an opiod addiction crisis. Nobody wants a person to suffer in pain, but physicians remember where "listen to your patients" advocacy went too far before. There has to be a better balance point found, but I think the pushback is real.[/quote]
