"The initial results of our survey – coupled with a recent spike in calls to the GI Rights Hotline – suggest American men and women in uniform don’t want to obey unlawful orders."
Just follow orders or obey the law? What US troops told us about refusing illegal commands
A majority of service members understand the distinction between legal and illegal orders.

Once chronic pain patients find a dosage that cuts the pain enough for them to be functional, they stabilize and can remain on that dosage for years or decades, barring accidents or additional injuries.

Again, talk to the patients about their lived experiences.

I’m not debating what is being taught. I’m saying: Listen to the lived experiences of severe chronic pain patients.

If ibuprofen only provides adequate relief, great!

There are many, many for whom it doesn’t/won’t & they still need access to stronger meds to allow them to be functional humans.

You may have been taught that in school but people who experience major chronic pain will teach you the opposite, if you listen to them.

Ibuprofen has its place in chronic pain management, but it does very little against severe chronic pain.

Those deductibles, copays, and especially coinsurance payments add up really fast, especially with cancer. They become 10s or 100s of thousands of US dollars within months. Even when you have really good insurance.

Ask me how I know.
