Will The Opiod Crackdown Denies Insured Suffering From Cancer and Surgery Recovery

A close relative of mine recently underwent surgery to repair a rotator cuff. It involved repairing damage from the muscles tearing off the bone and the pain is incredible. Every movement, every effort to get any comfort sends pain of incredible intensity thru her body. The nerves are all inflamed to the point of no sleep and no rest. There's no way to ease the pain for short.

A specialist did the surgery and was well spoken of in his professional abilities. Everything was very thorough and professionally done.

Two non-metal screws were placed into the bone to help secure the new materials in place,The surgery went well and was done in just a couple hours. Medicaid paid for the surgery,

We walked out several hours after surgery hoping this would turn out well. Hoping that she could heal up, and return to normal life with the after surgery limitations usually advised for such recovery times.
The after surgery instructions said no driving or any stressing of the arm or shoulder.The surgery folks actually immobilized the entire arm and shoulder

I drove her to the Pharmacy for the prescriptions that would ease the pain and keep infection down.
The pharmacist tried for over an hour to fill the prescription for her without even giving a reason it wasn't going thru.

Medicaid was refusing to pay for the needed ability to kill legitimate pain. Not from a dope fiend or user, but from a patient in actual pain from a medical procedure. The surgeon, Pharmacist, and patient have all but begged Medicaid to help out. It all falls on deaf, unfeeling ears. Medicaid finally said the pain meds can only be gotten with paperwork and more forms so they can then say the meds are needed.

I remember them refusing to let my oldest sister have pain meds or treatment to fight the brain cancer she was finally going to drive from her body.THAT sister died a horrible Painful death, begging to die from the pain of cancer which quickly overtook her in days. The insurance companies there too were acting as God to decree treatment or not. They could care less if we had to watch helplessly'

The Pharmacist finally said we will try to fill a few pain pills for you if the Medicaid people allow it.

She is to be healing for the next 6weeks. The pain of therapy and healing will take the next 6weeks.
Medicaid gave her 24 pills to be taken 4-8hours. That's 3to six days of comfort. The pharmacy said the script that should have been filled was for a little longer to take her through some of the therapy pain.

I can understand the precaution of these times for those who would abuse controlled substances..
I rather doubt that cancer patients and post-surgery patients with open wounds are in such a category of dope fiends. Denying meds to the sick and injured is the cruelest a bureaucratic cold-hearted of practices.

This so-called opioid epidemic sweeping the country is peculiar in its doing, to say the least. I remember the war on drugs some time ago. Evil Pot was the beginning of mental ruination.dimentia was imminent. Remember the photos of those poor run down souls that had succumbed to the evil weed?

The beginning of crime, degradation, morality. It was touted for a shear route to Hell and Damnation. Pot is being legalized to buy over the counter now in as many forms as is possible. Even PepsiCo is waiting to infuse it into the products.

Legalized growers and huge companies are making tons of money while those in the past who did the same thing rot in prison or are denied for life to ever do what they did best. It was their calling made a crime until big business could legalize it and reap the profits. America, Land of opportunity as long a the suits run the drugs behind the law.Sooo....what about the folks who desperately need legal those drugs?

 Even Wall street tycoons are getting fat wallets from pot sale in the stock market.No street corner, patrol car,jailcell encounters.Its all so very safe.

This all going on while the lives of those in desperate need are denied proper medical components by the Jack assed suits sitting comfortably in an air conditioned office dictating who will live and who will suffer and die.Its not right.Passing out permission sheets to be filled out and put into a pile while the go out to have a smoke of whatever, on break.That patient waiting in agony for that paperwork.

The war on drugs is chalking up innocents along the way.People who are being caught in the line of friendly fire between the insurance companies and government burueacrats looking to keep it all stirred up for personal gain at others expense.The public mezmerized to hand in perscriptions and turn in grampa for keeping his old meds just in case.Maybe,just maybe Grampa knows something that might be past expeirnce sometime about 1929 orso.I was called proabition.It didnt work,but thousands were caught up in that rediculous reality.

I have a suspicion the next government promo for the drug fight might be,

"Drug cartells need to stop cuz we in insurance and government hate competion.

Or how bout this:"Drug cartels,if you cant beat them,join them and make it legal,if the dugs dont kill ya,the bureaucratic Bullshit, will"

The needs of people being treated for medical care should be the priority and not a check on a ok paper by a non professional in an office,They have neither the skill,education nor presence of mind to deem a doctors care of any patient situation.There needs to be a group of medical professionals to over see the insurance companies decisions.Those insurance decisions that cause pain,suffering or death need to be held responsible for their actions as much as a someone who would murder that same person/patient.

Human nature has a tendency to over look the pain of others when not connected to that person.I remember the lady murdered in plain sight of others on a street in NYC.the crowd either watched or walked by.Those Burueacrats  are no different.We need to rise up and replace them in their comfort zones or just  simply hire overlords who can not except gratuities
to make sure torture and killing by paperwork no longer takes place without someone explaining that decisions consequences

Till next time friends please tell you friends about this blog,positive or negative its something to look into.Take care till next time.
