Dr Beinfest Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Bunch of bulls***. The State is ruining private medical businesses one at a f***ing time. Yeah, there are bad apples. There are so many better ways to go about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True CRaysball Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 My sentiment exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikol87 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm not sure how it was done in "secret." I'm sure it's posted to the state gov't website, just like all other laws. They don't have a launch parties for new legislation. Also, why is this a bad thing? There is a MASSIVE problem in this state with narcotics, immoral doctors, and pharmacies who are more than happy to fill scripts for drug runners because they make exorbitant profits.

True CRaysball Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Because people like members of my family can no longer get the medicines they need to function. You've obviously never lived in chronic pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbob1313 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 This wasn't in secret. I feel like every single day I worked at the Herald the last 2 months there's been stories on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've obviously never lived in chronic pain. How does this change that? Pharmacies can still dispense these drugs. But these pain clinics are a massive problem. And this should help out with that problem. Doctors are writing and filling scripts in the same location, and it's not just a few bad apples; the situation is ripe for fraud, and there has indeed been lots of fraudulent scripts.

He tells people to leave if he believes that they are faking it or do not need whatever medicine they ask for. Specifically if they request it.

There are a lot of bad apples. I'm sorry it's bad for your dad's practice, but it should further the state's objectives overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 That's absolute bulls***. There's so many better ways to go around this. Private practices will suffer big time for this. It's just going to create a long term shortage in doctors because the industry is being pissed on by the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you read the article: As of July 1, 2011, most physicians who are not pain management specialists are no longer authorized to dispense Schedule II or Schedule III controlled substances So your dad will be fine.

True CRaysball Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 My Mom went to the doctor to get her pain meds refilled and the Doctor couldn't do it because of this new law and now I have to deal with "Phsyco-b****" as a mother as a result, Thanks Governor Scott. I regret ever voting for your dumb a**. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricWiener Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Your doctor absolutely could refill her, or if he can't it has nothing to do with this law which applies starting in January. Also, how is a publicly posted and debated law, on the legislature's agenda, a secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regret ever voting for your dumb a**. Why can't you/she go to the pharmacy? I thought I posted this earlier, but @fm, that seems confusing because I think the law does indeed target pain clinics for that new restriction.

Yes, and my understanding was that they would affect pain management specialists, but the article says that it won't affect pain management specialists. I haven't read the law myself, so maybe I was misinformed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article was expressing an opinion that true Pain Management people (not drug pushers) would not be affected because they already perform the state-required work.

bobbob1313 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I think the doctor is wrong. Laws don't go into effect the next day. Maybe he was not following the law beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some wires must be crossed with your situation, because that doesn't sound right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
