Policymakers’ exaggerated fear of opioids has pressured hospitals, doctors and dentists to switch to acetaminophen, no matter how severe the patient's pain. Sometimes, the drug is given intravenously in high doses as part of "opioid-sparing protocols." We believe using the drug in this way is ill-advised, cruel, and borders on malpractice.
Lawmakers believed they had to do something about the opioid overdose crisis, which has grown exponentially since the 1970s. The crisis was driven by a growing population of nonmedical drug users accessing drugs from the black market.

How about jailing those who sell on the black market. If a death occurs charge them with murder. I am tired of seeing parents of children who died of an overdose or fentanyl saying Johnny was a good kid - wrong he was using illegal drugs. Never do you see them taking any responsibility.

I am concerned about the 99% that use the drug correctly. for me Tylenol is very minimally effective.

Just more proof the federal government does not have the best interests of citizens as the core mission. They should not be the arbiter of a doctors decision making process.
