Mississippi ER doctors publicly opposed the Board of Medical Licensure's "opioid amendments." The Mississippi Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians said in an October letter sent to the Board that the amendments "will not improve safety and will have unintended negative consequences." The two-page letter is posted below and makes some points worth reading. The letter was obtained through a public records request.
The Board did not make any changes to address these concerns in the regulations that were approved on December 15. Add the ER docs to the Ob/Gyn's, Orthopedic surgeons, State Health Officer, and a plethora of doctors who oppose these amendments but what do they know?

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Sorry, docs!! Get with the times. Handing out smack like it's candy is not good for public health. There have to be some safeguards for the public.
Anon. 9:09, you are the one who needs to "get with the times". Thus far no doctors outside the MSBML have endorsed the board's recomendations, and no other state in the country is considering the types of practices the board has proposed.
9:09. If for some unfortunate reason you find yourself in the ER with a severe and painful injury I am sure they will give you a bullet to bite on to ease your pain. Those sissies who want something for severe pain are just going tp have to learn to suck it up.
I could have sold the 12 they gave me last week for a Knee Strain for $60.00, I holding on to them, I am sure they will double in value as soon as these rules are implemented.
Ethics has never been your strong suit 10:40. The fact that you are here expressing an interest in breaking the law confirms it.
Well, down in the ole magnolia state, a doctor may be a "days ride" away to begin with. Maybe we can just bite down on a bullet or a good piece of leather in the vent of severe pain, maybe a shot of whiskey (between 10:00 and 8:00, Mon-Sat in "wet" locations)could also numb it up too. What do the ER docs and OB docs know about pain anyway? Looks like we have some real geniuses "fixing" this problem. Maybe the geniuses in the state legislature could get involved here and really "fix" this problem once and for all, tell me how that would end. It sure has been nice not being able to get any Sudafed.
1:14pm....you can get plenty of sudafed if you're a criminal or would like to become one. Wasn't that the intent of the law or just one of those unintended consequence things?
"I could have sold the 12 they gave me last week for a Knee Strain for $60.00."
Pussboy Alert! What the fuck did you go to the doctor for if all you had was a knee strain? Wait, don't tell us....you're wife put you in the back seat and drove you to a clinic so you could get an 'out of work' excuse slip.
The restrictions on sudafed are absurd. I buy them every time I travel out of state. I hope someone somewhere is tracking me too. When I'm finally able to make the move from clogged sinuses to full blown meth dealer they can track me down! Cause Lawd knows my stash of red pills will really give the cartel a run for their money.
If we can't get pain meds or benzos we will at least be able to fly our state flag with pride while sipping some shine. #lifeinlastplace
Dowdy, et al, will claim the prescription necessity for stuffy nose medicine cured the meth curse. Requiring the same doctors to prescribe for stuffy noses that they want to forbid from prescribing pain meds.
The meth curse disappeared because after law enforcement got its say on stuffy nose medicine, they stopped looking for the meth labs...
I've asked this before, as have others during this discourse, but I'll ask again: what can we laypeople do to have a say in this? Have I missed someone in-the-know answering this question? We can complain all day long but that doesn't really do anything What can we, as John/Jane Doe Citizen do to stop this knee-jerk idiotic empire-building madness?
This is the email that I received from the Board about this matter. It contains an email address and phone/fax numbers for anyone interested in contacting them.
The Board of Medical Licensure has filed a proposed rule amendment with the Secretary of State for review and comment. MSBML Administrative Code Part 2640 Chapter 1: Rules Pertaining to Prescribing, Administering and Dispensing of Medication has been updated to reflect changes as proposed by the Governor’s Opioid and Heroin Study Task Force and other guidelines previously published by the CDC. A copy of this proposed rule can be located on the Board’s website under “Regulation Filings”,
http://www.msbml.ms.gov/sites/default/files/Part%202640_Prescribing_Proposed_Filed.pdf. A copy is attached.
Questions and comments regarding the proposed rule may be submitted to mboard@msbml.ms.gov or to the address below.

I called and they sent me to the voicemail of one of the board examiners. To the unsure, an examiner is a pencil dick non medical wanna be cop who investigates doctors. Nice. Fuckers.
Thank you. That’s extremely helpful.
