Treat your Patients !!!
Doctors followed CDC guidelines and now I am in great pain & on the floor...
For those Doctors who choose to act with little thought, heart, and most importantly... lack of fortitude to do what's right--- for their patient's.
Honor your Oath, treat !!!

Yeah, welcome to the new "compassionate care"... The new (old) Guideline essentially states "You can't have pain relief to help you LIVE better, but you can have it to help you DIE better".
