Doctors forced to abide by corporate pt care mandates or risks losing job ?

The prescriber himself is against this . He apologizes constantly but tells me because the fact that the office he works for made every doctor implement the guidelines to new and old patients , that his hands are tied because he doesn’t want to loose his job. Myself and 79 other patients all with different doctors but the same office have all been lowered to the CDC guidelines . The problem is that doctors offices and doctors themselves are reading the guidelines as law . Their afraid that if they don’t follow the recommendations ,that they will get into trouble and loose their jobs . That’s what I’m finding also with pain patients across the country. Patients are being lowered to the CDC recommended morphine equivalents or their being forced off their medications altogether . So it’s not been 
That their following the standard of care , their following the recommend highest dose or morphine equivalents even though they’ve been on higher doses that have worked for them for many many years

This is what I believe is a good example where a class action lawsuit would come into play. The corporation that employs these prescribers and claiming that they are going to follow the CDC guidelines for all 80 pts.  So they are basically stating that the CDC guidelines are the standard of care and best practices for all the employed prescribers.  Apparently this prescriber is not happy about the edicts from the corporation in how he is being FORCED to mistreat or under treat pts against what his experience and training guides him to how pts should be treated.

They are also just implementing small portions of the CDC guidelines… the most limiting part that INTENTIONALLY limits a pt receiving optimum care and quality of life. That would be the 90 mg/day ME.  IMO.. they are violating their own standard of care and best practices which meaning that they are in the malpractice arena, pt/senior abuse and discriminating against pts that are suffering from subjective disease which could be a violation/civil rights discrimination under the Americans with Disability Act and Civil Rights Act.
