Welcome to the Doctor Patient Forum/Don't Punish Pain Rally Patreon page!

It's estimated that more than 1,000,000 people with chronic, intractable pain lost access to their pain care shortly after the CDC published opioid prescribing guidelines in 2016. Many providers have stopped treating pain due to fear of state medical board sanction and government retribution.

This has led to:

Patient abandonment
Forced opioid tapers
Untreated pain crisis
Increased overdose deaths
Medication shortage
Loss of providers due to:
- DEA action
- Provider fear
- State medical board sanction

We are in the fight for our lives, and your patronage enables us to continue to fight for your rights and advocate for you! Together we can fight the untreated pain and patient abandonment crisis!
