Does anyone know which are the states that have passed the Tort Reform. I would appreciate any suggesstions where to find the list of states that have passed the reform.DigableCat said:Any state(such as Texas) which has torte reform is going to be more physician friendly in general.

Looks good. Spent last 3 months weaning 80+% of my folks over the level and most are doing well without increased reported pain. I point to the guidelines out of WA and OR.Emerging standard of care for opioid prescribing in OR for chronic non-cancer pain: 120MED.
1. OHSU, 2. Southern Oregon Opioid Prescribing Guidelines.
The Oregon initiative is remarkable. It is refreshing to see that it basically states: "we created the problem and we need to fix it". I firmly believe that the majority of the problem stems from the PCPs who find it easier to continue to prescribe than to talk to the patients and explain why opioid use is not a sustainable long term strategy. Then they look to dump this trash on us. If I didn't have to fight off the daily attempt to dump a patient on my doorstep my life would improve 100%.
Specifically how do you say that to your patients? I tell patients these medications are highly abusable and addictive with substantial risk and they say, "Not me doc. I don't abuse my meds. I always take them as prescribed!" What's your guys' next line? "No you don't" Haha...Just curious
