The Government and the Media are telling us that the Opioid drug problem is getting worse. I don't know whether you saw the lead story in last Sunday's New York Times but the facts are that Physicians wrote fewer prescriptions for opioids in 2013 than 2012, fewer in 2014 than 2013 and even fewer in 2015 than 2014.
That is a fact.
So what does the Government of the State of New York do????? The Governor thinks that dentists are a big part of the opioid problem but they are NOT.
ASIDE: l have written 4 prescriptions for pain medication in THREE YEARS.
The Governor next demands that all prescriptions be "written " online. Now I do not have a philosophical problem with this except:
It takes 45 SECONDS to write a prescription on paper and 20 MINUTES to do the same online.
I am kidding right????
Nope. 20 minutes.
Unfortunately,government does very few things well. Think THREE HOURS to get through a TSA security line.
When our government can have me write a prescription online in 45 seconds then and only then should they be in the business of regulating prescriptions.
Think I am angry? You Bet!
