Our practice is IM based. We see a wide range of mainly patients with chronic illnesses. Every experience I have had with our medical board, especially Dr Easterling has been deficient at best. It seems our board speaks only for themselves, not the physicians and patients they claim to represent. The mangled mess the board rushed through will not put a dent in the opioid crisis, but will cause harm to thousands of Mississippians that rely on the patient by patient care given to them by their physicians. I highly recommend that the people of Mississippi call their government representatives and put a stop to what will only be a disaster. Trust me, there is a better way.

Kudos to all the doctors who have done so.

One of his meds is an opiate for occasional shoulder pain as at 97 years old they are just absolutely worn out. Hospice provides the meds pertaining to his condition of congestive heart failure on a 7 day cycle. He is in the 2nd 90 day enrollment with Hospice. I fully expect him to survive the current enrollment. How this will shake out with regard to the opiate he is prescribed is looking like a damn nightmare.

The proposed regs do nothing for the actual opiate problem and do everything to hurt our patients and add ANOTHER layer of bureaucratic nonsense to impede us from taking care of our patients. We now spend more time dealing with the damned government and insurance busywork than with actual patient care. These rules are more about politics and power than medicine.<br /><br />Your kid or Momma come in with a broken bone and I have to order a $100 drug screen on them before I write pain meds??????????? Of course their insurance is NOT going to pay for the freakin' drug screen and the patient now has another $100 totally unneeded out of pocket expense. Now multiply that $100 cost for every time a legitimate patient needs a script. <br /><br />As a board certified Family Medicine doc (FAAFP) with 35 years experience I am appalled at the lack of common sense and total disregard for both the doctors and their legitimate patients that has been demonstrated by Easterling, Lippincott, Brunson, and others on the MBML.
