We can also blame the DEA for putting massive amounts of pressure on hospitals and drs for NOT doing these tests, even if circumstances didn't allow, or wasnt a priority(emergency c sections for example)
So the hospital breaks the protocol you laid out for us otherwise the DEA can come in and audit the hospital and if they don't like what they find, like missing drug tests, they can take doctors liscences to practice and drag that hospital through the dirt. It's fucked up how much power they have and how detrimental they've become to healthcare.
My doctor is forced to drug test me because of a medication I take. The last time she did it she apologized and said the DEA was auditing them this month and she had no choice. Those drug tests are like $500 if you don't have insurance, and a lot of private insurances won't cover it. If they won't I have to sign a paper saying I'll pay for it. If I don't do this I don't get life giving medications for a neurological disorder I was born with.
DEA mandated drug tests are unethical and provide very little benefit... if any at all. It just makes every patient feel like a criminal. Let doctors use their best judgment. It's better than the alternative... which is this.
Oh I absolutely agree. Gabapentin being one of those "scheduled" and monitored drug about broke me in the lab. Like no one is purposely getting high off of that shit. The Sacklers ruined pain management for everyone and I hope they all burn in hell.
