Chronic Pain Patients
To whom it may concern;
Arkansas' attorney general has retained five law firms to help investigate drug companies and prepare for potential legal action over their role in the state's opioid abuse problem.
Attorney General Leslie Rutledge said she retained Dover Dixon Horne PLLC in Little Rock and four out-of-state firms for the work, which could result in lawsuits against the drug manufacturers. Rutledge said she did not have a timeframe for taking legal action against the companies. The drug companies did not cram the pills down peoples throats. The doctors should be punished for their ignorance and the doctors denying chronic pain patients medication should also be held accountable for the neglect that they have caused so many people.
I would like to know who is standing up for all the legitimate pain patients here in Arkansas who have been completely cut off because of peoples greed?
Most of the people who die from drug over doses or street drugs were already street drug addicts. They had multiple medications and alcohol in their systems. Most of people with chronic back pain did not abuse their medications and are still alive. But have been severely incapacitated by pain. We didn’t run to a hospital begging, we didn’t hurt ourselves to get medications and we didn’t go out and buy street drugs but we are being neglected by doctors. I would call that malpractice and the most inhumane treatment we could ever receive.
