: Chronic pain patients in Maine?
Hello – I wrote Gordon Smith, director of the Maine Medical Association, regarding my concerns with the Maine state law restricting dosage of opioid prescriptions. I don’t live in Maine, but he offered to publish a 600-word article in Maine Medicine from the chronic pain patient point of view. I just need to find someone who actually lives in Maine to write it.
Would you pass this along to any of your members in Maine who might be interested?
His email says “I am sorry that you have suffered under the Maine law. In our presentations to prescribers and occasionally to the public we always acknowledge that a group of patients has suffered, although many have been assisted. It is important that policy makers do hear your point of view. If you would like to submit a 600 word article I would make every effort to include it in our upcoming issue of Maine Medicine. Feel free to forward my offer to patients in Maine in similar circumstances.”
