I cannot believe in this country, that this type of thing could happen. Evidently none of the people sponcering this bill have never had pain of any kind much less NP, or the hurtfull conditions people have all over this country. The ignorance of those folks is frightening. Most people who use opiods for true pain are not doing it because they want to, they do it because they have to, to be able to have some kind of quality to their lives. We should write to our state senators and maybe become more active in protesting such bills. This would place unfair restrictions on pain specialists, and take time away from the patients.
