No, here's what I'm referring to. From the FDA.
It's not a government crackdown on physicians.
Like anything else, some physicians may take a different stance on their prescribing methods than others, but that's not a government mandate or crackdown.
I suspect your physician has taken a harder stance than others.
Edit: I noticed you said it was a recommendation in another post, so we appear to be in agreement.

That isn't a strawman. That is over half the reason so many people are fricked up from pills.
Go after these doctors that strung people out and turned them to heroin once their supply dried up.
This is leftist logic.

Sorry dude, but it's straight out of the leftist playbook.

You don't think MD's share part of the responsibility for creating these addicts?

When did "more government is not the answer" become leftist logic?

How the hell are they going to crack down on opiods and doctors? Doctors are skittish as hell already and being stingy as all get out already over the last few years.
PCP's won't even mess with patients with chronic pain anymore as far as handling their opiods. They farm those patients out to pain management.
They don't call in Rx anymore. They require hard scripts and an office visit. PCPs can't do refills. 30 day rx at a time.
The doctors have been roped in as much as they can be.
The restrictions over the last few years are already causing misery on legit chronic pain pts. Any more of a crack down is gonna do no good.
All of this. At this point, the vast majority of the public is suffering because of the actions of the addicts (who still, apparently, are able to get all they need).

The purpose of antibiotics should shift to saving lives rather than making someone that is otherwise healthy feel better faster. The long term ramnifications of the broad over use antibiotics far outweigh your isolated concerns.

Arresting people is, by definition, "more government".
The solution to all of this is deregulation with resources spent on rehabilitation and avoidance.
Docs committing fraud are doing do because of the regulations creating a system to even be defrauded.
I wonder what would happen if the concept of scheduled drugs went "poof" and half of the budget spent on arresting people was instead spent on treating addiction.

When the most addictive and lethal drugs have the classification of a drug on the opposite side of those spectrums whole more lethal and addictive drugs are legal, the classification system should be either thrown out or revamped dramatically.

It really has. The last year or so has been great to find out who's a pretender and who's not around here

Or maybe we could use cptbengal's definitions. Against a Trump policy or agenda? Then you are prog filth. I recently learned Amash was prog filth. And apparently I've been prog filth for quite some time.

This is great news. The "doctors" feeding our national pill problem need to be treated exactly like drug dealers.

I think that making drugs illegal substances is a nanny state proposal, and that the government should have no say in a doctor patient relationship.
I think that what patients put in their body is their business and their responsibility, regardless of who sells it to them. I think the hard drug addiction problem is actually exacerbated by the prosecution of doc feelgoods and the prohibition of other cleaner options.
I think blaming the merchant for what the consumer does is wrong, a fact we seem to recognize for gun issues but not opiods. For some reason or another.
Yes, it is morally repugnant for a doc to knowingly prescribe unnecessary drugs. But, barring fraud or coercion, he should face no legal repercussions. The public outrage is regulation enough, assuming we live in my world where drugs aren't a felony.

Prescribing someone on medicaid or medicare into pill dependency is fraud imo. Hard to imagine any conservative being against this type of crackdown.
