The Other Opioid Crisis: Hospital Shortages Lead To Patient Pain, Medical Error

March 25, 2018 by admin 3 Comments

I came across this public-accesss story, and wanted to share the perspective: Pauline Bartolone, Kaiser Health News Even as opioids flood American communities and fuel widespread addiction, hospitals are facing a dangerous shortage of the powerful painkillers needed by patients in acute pain, according to doctors, pharmacists and a coalition of health groups. The shortage, … [Read more…]

Ten Gripes of Buprenorphine Doctors

March 25, 2017 by admin 18 Comments

I recently gave a lecture to medical students about opioid dependence and medication assisted treatment using buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. I was happy to see their interest in the topic, in contrast to the utter lack of interest in learning about buprenorphine shown by practicing physicians. In case someone from the latter group comes across … [Read more…]

Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia Prevented by Buprenorphine?

February 5, 2017 by admin 8 Comments

“Buprenorphine is a kappa receptor antagonist. For these reasons, buprenorphine might be unique in its ability to treat chronic pain and possibly OIH.” The opioid crisis has been fueled by the use of opioids to treat chronic pain.  Practice patterns have changed, but doctors are still criticized for their roles in the overuse of opioids.  I’ve sat … [Read more…]

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis: How Rare?

January 4, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

I recently read a CBS news story about CHS, or Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, describing a 100% increase in cases in Colorado since the legalization of marijuana there.  A search for ‘THC’ and ‘CHS’ pulls stories from a range of sources including High Times, Wikipedia, Fusion.net, and Current Psychiatry.  A broader search reveals articles calling the … [Read more…]

Post-op Pain on Suboxone

November 29, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

Many patients on Suboxone or buprenorphine eventually require pain treatment, just like people who aren’t on buprenorphine products.  I’ve written about post-op pain control several times, but I continue to get emails from patients who haven’t seen my comments and who view an upcoming surgery with the same fear experienced by patients before the early … [Read more…]

Opioid Analgesia Without Addiction

October 22, 2015 by admin 3 Comments

I don’t have pull with the addiction-related organizations out there.  I’m never been a joiner, and I tend to notice the problems caused by medical societies over the good things that they supposedly accomplish.    For example PROP, or ‘Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing’, have a specific mission.  Once a group has a mission, any … [Read more…]

Suboxone Patient Needs Surgery, Refused Pain Control

November 22, 2014 by admin 2 Comments

First Posted 10/21/2013 I have received MANY messages over the years from patients on buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) who required surgery, but whose doctors refused to provide post-op analgesia.  Those of you not on Suboxone– can you imagine having surgery, and being told that ‘it is too much hassle to give you any medicine for pain relief’? … [Read more…]
