APDF’s VP Bob Sherrin a pediatric pain advocate …met today with this pt’s prescriber and her parents and after over six weeks of suffering from 3rd degree burns and painful debridement WITHOUT ANY OPIATES FOR HER PAIN …. she got her first opiate Rx and her first dose today. Up until today, Vanderbilt Hosp had a BLANKET NO OPIATE POLICY for pediatrics.
IMO, the chronic pain community and American Pain & Disability Foundation IS ON THE MOVE
APDF needs both volunteers and donations

Every victory is a step in the right direction!! Thank you Bob & APDF, for helping this child get through a cruel and difficult time. Anyone that thinks this is okay needs to spend a year in our bodies.
This torture has to stop.
