What if we could predict exactly who was going to OD up to two years before it happened? This cohort study used a 5 variable predictive model that analyzed data and developed a tool that could be used to predict overdose from a primary care setting. http

Same old story. Compliant patient. Suffering. Needlessly. Glanz et al shows no relationship between MME and two year risk for overdose. When will the madness stop? https://t.co/w8tc6TWF50 @DebHouryCDC @CDCDirector @ScottGottliebMD
@tdbrothers @AJ_Gordon @headdock @azarimugs Excellent- reference is out in January 2018 https://t.co/Xx8vEwsCaY. I still take dose seriously as marker of risk, I don't assume lowering dose removes the risk. It can even exacerbate it sometimes.

This “new study” below is brought to you by the makers of a drug called Naloxone. Naloxone is used as an Opiod antagonist in the event of an opioid overdose. Be very wary of information brought to you by the manufacturers of a drug used in this way

Current public policy favors rigid restrictions - limiting the dosage and the number of days people can receive opioids to 3 or 7 days - and is encouraging force tapering pain patients who lead functional lives from opioid pain medicine. https://t.co/A15jk
