I had a very painfull back for six months last year. Thank goodness I was aware of the opiate scandal happening in the states (I'm in Australia).
i'm obsessed with sasha's hair, so cute 😍
The opioids example she gives is a very good one. In short, a few pharmaceutical companies tried to get pain level as a major thing in healthcare so that they could see more drugs. This worked beyond their wildest expectations, but it also led to massive increases in addiction and, indirectly, to the fentanyl crisis.
Unrelated to gender directly but connected as far as systemic intervention: the documentary medicating normal was eye opening. It shows the ramifications and protracted impacts of becoming medicalized / being put on psychotropic meds when really the issues are normal adolescence or ptsd for example. MH Misdiagnosis can lead to such wide ranging long term damages for some.
Very enlightening. Thank you!
I’m a medical cannabis patient, it absolutely helps. I switched from 4 types of synthetic medications to 1 natural medication. It’s not for everyone and can have some negative side effects (on a scale from dry mouth to the digestive issues mentioned) but in comparison to pharmaceuticals? Easy decision.
When it comes to harmful policies, covid and everything surrounding it is a pretty big elephant in the room.
When physicians became employees and sold themselves to the health systems, whose sole purpose is profit, it can only go downhill from there. The administrators and the state/federal hospital associations are at the top of the food chain, right along with the insurance companies and pharma. The current exodus of family practitioners who move from clinical practice to open cash pay boutique medicine practices, IV therapy clinics, medi-spas is a direct result of the emphasis on profit, metrics, poor reimbursement, which affects primary care more than any other area of medicine. Fewer FPs leaves patients being seen in ERs, who have to push patients through once its clear they won’t die or be readmitted in the next 24 hours, seeing specialists who view every patient’s nail through the view of their own specialized hammer, and UCs who have an extreme variations in types of practitioners and availability of services. It’s easy to see how things are missed and things fall through the cracks.
The current harmful policy in the U.S. with opioids is the lack of availability due to crackdown on prescribing. It is nearly impossible to access them and having the only treatment that helps and one which is cheap and easily available if the government allows it taken from you is why chronic pain patients are disappearing from society. Increasingly via suicide and via quality of life being removed when the medication is taken due to general policies and not patient action or condition. We are the innocents and our lives don’t seem to matter one bit.
Stella, look after yourself, you are begining to look tired, don't want you to wear yourself out.
Stella will be played by jessy Buckley in the film; I'm still casting Sasha... Zendaya maybe?
Please don't drag cannabis into this just to make your argument about over prescription. It's really an unrelated issue. Yes, if you smoke too much, you'll get nauseous. The solution is to stop smoking, & the nausea will go away. It certainly isn't a "serious medical issue." The real issue with cannabis is that it is still being regulated by the federal government.
Please please please remember
