Gangs...
The Food and Drug Administration, For the first time ever, has told a drug company to pull a painkiller off the market because it has such a high potential for abuse. Opana ER, an extended release form of the opioid drug oxymorphone made by the drug company Endo, was being crushed up and injected by people seeking to abuse it.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says opioid overdoses have hit record highs, killing more than 47,000 people in 2014 more than the 32,000 who died in road accidents.
The CDC is embroiled in a big fight over how to do this. It proposed new draft guidelines include using every other possible approach to managing pain before giving someone an opioid such as fentanyl or oxycontin to control pain.
This wouldn’t apply to terminally ill cancer patients and the proposed guidelines would be voluntary. But the pushback has been hard from patients, doctors and the drug industry, as well as groups such as the U.S. Pain Foundation and the American Academy of Pain Management.
A team at Stanford University reported that primary care physicians, not pain specialists, are by far the biggest prescribers of opioid drugs. They said sales of prescription opioids rose by 300 percent since 1999.
Not a good solution to the patients, the doctors, the drug abusers or for healthcare in general.
Beach...*
A perfect picture day on the beach. The sun is out, not too hot of a day to have the sun shines where it didn't do before. People walking, running, bicycling, with some cloths and without some cloths. Jut a wonderful day all around.
And in the spirit of Cassius Clay, this idiot decided to jump up and down threatening another. You know
"fly like butterfly and sting like a bee." However it was just jumps.
Then he gave the police an urgent fake message " he is running ... "
The young policeman didn't buy the hoopla.
It was a perfect and beautiful day, ....enjoy it. Just enjoy it.
Banned...*
Women’s tennis star Maria Sharapova has been banned from competing in the sport for two years. An independent tribunal appointed by the ITF, the world governing body
of tennis, said Sharapova provided a urine sample, after her
quarter-final match at the Australian Open in
Melbourne. The sample was found to contain a drug called meldonium,
which became a banned substance recently.
Sharapova publicly announced she had failed a drug test at
the Australian Open, but maintained that she was unaware that the drug
she had been taking for a decade, mildronate, was banned. The 29-year-old Russian tennis player said she had started using the drug, which helps increase blood and oxygen flow, under a doctor's guidance in 2006 because of irregular electrocardiogram results as well as a family history of heart issues and diabetes. When you have the money, you may be able to have the doctor you wish. Just a thought.
