Because Lois Lerner of the IRS lost emails and  Hillary Clinton lost emails and Richard Nixon had sections “go blank” on the oval office recording system. I copied these files down to my computer… for safe keeping 🙂

readingbetween If you listen to the introduction by the committee chair.. this committee was created a couple of years ago.. and “hasn’t done much”… does that suggest how much interest the BOP has concerning the denial of care of chronic pain pts in Florida ? Or does this suggest that investigative reporter Matt Grant and other FL TV channels have given this issue so much coverage of late… that they felt that were compelled to do something. And something was to limit everyone from the audience wanting to make a statement was limited to 3 minutes.. except the representative of NACDS (National Association of Chain Drug Stores) who was allowed to read his entire prepared statement.

I also found it rather STRANGE .. each of the members of the special committee was allowed to make sometimes lengthy statements and there was not time allotted for questions from the audience… concerning their statements or seeking clarifications.

  1. I’m listening to the audio, noticing how religious the anti abuse people sound. Yes, abuse happens, but damn. Steve is right on with the stuff on fake IDs. I’ve had patients not even pop up in PDMP yet they’re on 40mg qid oxy. Something is amiss, but it’s not with legit patients.

  2. Thank you Steve for posting this audio and thank you a ton for attending this conference.
