Pain Management Laws Tennessee (Page 2)

Hello Everyone,

Since the State of Tennessee has declared war on Compliant Pain Patients, there is a group starting up to sue the State of Tennessee. These new laws make our Physician and Pharmacist as "Agents of the State". We have been advised by a highly rated trial attorney that these new laws are absolutely UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!!

If anyone is interested in being in a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, then contact me {edited for privacy} and we will forward you the literature. We should not be treated like CRIMINALS ! Stand up people... Stand UP.

Re: Scott (# 1)

The research demonstrates that pts on over a 100mg morphine equivalent (MME) are 4 times more likely to overdose on their meds. Thus, every major governmental body in the USA has "recommended" no doses over 100mg MME. Given the overdose "epidemic" this guideline is not a law, but it has become the standard of care and places a strong legal burden on physicians who prescribe more than that, so very few do. Good luck with the lawsuit.

I;m not sure you understand the issue and your trial atty certainly doesn't. The laws haven't changed, the guidelines for prescribing have changed. Physicians are welcome to prescribe outside the guidelines but are at more legal risk when a pt complains or the Feds want to see your paperwork because you are prescribing outside the norm. I can't imagine a lawsuit is workable here, regardless of what the atty said.
