We know the government’s fear laden approach to opioids is wrong. We know the clinical data. We see patients struggling and the lives leaving far too soon. But no one believes us. When we speak out, our words fall silent, discredited the moment they are uttered. We sense the seething stigma. The unseeing public is trapped in a feedback loop, an echo chamber of circular logic. They think: If you truly need medication, you’ll get it. And if you don’t, then you won’t. It’s so simple, and so very wrong.
