Your lack of reading ability is evident "As the medical board was updating its guidelines, we had great concern that they would bury California’s Pain Patient's Bill of Rights and Intractable Pain Treatment Act. When these laws were passed in the 1990’s, they were a godsend to patients with chronic intractable pain, who were given the right to “request or reject the use of any or all modalities in order to relieve his or her pain.” That means patients, with the support of their doctors, could get opiate medication without first having to submit to surgery, medical devices and other forms of pain treatment. To our great pleasure, the medical board’s new guidelines recognize, define and support these worthy laws. Importantly, the guidelines also state that they are “not in any way intended to limit treatment” of patients in hospice or palliative care. And they allow for doctors to prescribe high dose opioids, provided they keep good medical records that document a need for them."
