Okay, now do an entire piece on how diagnosed chronic pain patients are now so strongly restricted by the TGA from legally accessing the medication they require to function, even though they can prove to have a 10 year plus record of taking strong analgesics without incident, that they are now forced to take drastic measures that they never would (like taking illegal drugs and worse, contemplating/committing suicide [insert spooky music here] But they don't count that statistic do they? How politically convenient that is? Doctors are so afraid to treat severe chronic pain patients now, that many of the times, they'd rather allow them to suffer in unimaginable pain than dare risk a critical review of their prescribing and hence the risking of their medical licence. It's a shame the other side never gets a say, especially when you consider the TGA made their further restrictions without correspondence/feedback from a single patient advocacy group (Not one!)
The clinical term is prescriber hysteria
I agree 100%
Had broken tibia (exteme pain)
No exrays, nope
just some anti inflammatory pills......
@@mickgatz214 Funny story. I had a stress fracture in my tibia and they were saying it was just shin splints. Was hobbling around for a month before they did an MRI (in a lot of bloody pain) and only then would they prescribe panadeine forte.
I was pleading that they do an MRI but they are doctors and therefore knew everything...
I have had this thumb injury since march 2021, torn ligaments and the bone in my thumb is crooked. My doctors see it in the MRI and X-ray and still for the longest time they just told me take Tylenol... It is painful to grab things, hold things, carry things, and still they didnt see how much pain I was in. Finally recently they prescribed me Tylenol 2 and it has made a world of a difference, the swelling has gone done alot, the pain has dropped alot I am able to use my thumb more but it took over 2 years for them to finally give me some relief...
doctors don't seem to have any power anymore.
It's hopelessness and lack of meaning and connection that lead to drugs and nothing is more hopeless then living in the USA we are very lucky standard of living is better here
Childhood abuse /trauma is a huge contributor to addiction, depression, suicide, etc. it’s unbelievable sad 😞
Being a small time drug dealer in Australia from what I know now is of of the safest way to make money with no consequences you can stand on the corner and sell whatever and if somebody dies well that’s on their own self as an overdose but there is nothing done to the dealer who sold it to them in fact the police aren’t even.looking for them. If a Doctor prescribed the wrong drug or the Chemist made up the wrong dose they are held accountable but anybody can make a combination of drugs and chemicals and get off Scott free. Not a guess experience showed me this from my loss of my son.
Honestly you guys have no clue, In the last six months fety has erupted on the streets of Sydney, for border force to act like they did something significant by stopping a few keys, is disingenuous. Sorry to say, but its to late, now that their is a market that is hooked, the supply only gets bigger and to act like certain people in power dont profit, again is being disingenuous. I lived a life of crime for more than 25 years and the higher up you get on that slippery ladder the less faith you have in humanity. Their are people in very high positions that facilitate logistics, laundering of profit and so on. We are talking BIG money and when ever their is BIG money, it's not the Lebo or Islander that's behind it, its always the ,man in the suit...
Well said! 👍
Your right. It's here on the streets and it's going to get allot worse.
There is no support channels in the country apart replacement programs, and the clincians who run them are already inundated with 1000s of patients.
What good is a ph number with nothing else at the end.
Western Govts have been peddling drugs for decades/centuries!
Western Govts especially the Police and Border Force are in on the smuggling too!
Wall Street was started/funded by drugs!
China did ice. Are they responsible for the western world having a epidemic, destroy our next generation. America are experiencing such a fate.. 😢
How do you know there’s fentanyl in Sydney? We don’t get heroin from Mexico, we never have. Australia’s heroin is China white which is based in Thailand, Laos and Burma and from what I’ve seen we are still getting SE Asian heroin rather than Mexican Fentanyl or Heroin. We also don’t have a pain pill issue like in the US. A lot of the Fentanyl is shipped from Mexico to the US as fake prescription pills. I honestly dont believe there’s fentanyl in Australia yet. There would be way more warnings and OD’s. We’re lucky to have only 150-200 OD’s in Australia, that’s nothing.
“It is impossible to understand addiction without asking what relief the addict finds, or hopes to find, in the drug or the addictive behaviour.”
― Gabor Mate, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
Had an unfortunate crime scene where a young man was mixing this with a couple of other things. Watch over your kids and teach them the right way.
Best of luck to addicts like Madeline and I hope it doesn’t sweep Australia, but we have every other illegal drug and draconian restrictions on pain medication that could actually help people.
PSILOCYBIN CURES ADDICTION!!!!!
Legal this month (or next) for medical script! woo!
@@legitwhitebelt8353 really? All across Australia? I’d be very keen to try it.
Please god protect Australians please god 🤲 amen
Please AFP protect Australians! Please Men & Women on duty protect us!
More dead junkies... Where is the downside exactly?
Well if you are a pain you may understand my comment you cannot get your pain relief medication legally so what are the choice do we have we don't and pain is unbearable it is not about schitz and giggles it is about living a day without pain
Drug dealers don't take drugs just money.
So not true ........ the cartels probably don't but most under them do especially the street level dealers ,
And they are Australia's Govt Police Media and Justice System!
Australia has the same western system as America --
Already cities in America like Kensington Philadelphia have already become 3rd world-like countries!
Killing your customer base is counter productive but greed knows no boundaries...
@@SpectreOZ It's like killing rats, there's always more!
Tougher penalties for dealers, better health care for addicts. Education starts in schools.
Tougher like the Philippines?
The ICC is looking to re-open investigations into Rodrigo Duterte's War on Drugs programme cited for human rights abuses, even locally criminals appear to receive greater consideration under the law than victims.
Australia is an easy target for illegal drugs. Weakest drug laws for criminals on earth. Meanwhile Bail 9, Schappell Corby....
@@multioptioned Canada is the same way, thanks to weak liberal leadership.
Wrong
Education starts at home
@@RappyRobBoth is the best answer.
Keep well love
The answer lies in El Salvadors action.
Lock up all known drug dealer's.
Include the suits.
Wall Street was started by the drug trade system!
Western Govts especially USA UK Canada Australia NZ and Europe have been peddling drugs for centuries!
El Salvador isn't involved in the drug trade, MS13 and Barrio 18 ST gang, they are murderers, robbers, pimps, ect but they have a vert minimal roll in the drug business.
Mexico is an entirely different story.
Beyond a joke weed is still illegal
I’m in Tassie and I had it in my system slipped to me when I stacked my car years ago so it’s already here
How was it slipped to you?
I don't really get it. What makes people want to try something they know is dangerous, addictive and expensive. I guess it's people who think they are not as susceptible than most.
fentanyl is actually cheap to make which is why mexican drug cartels are solely focused on fentanyl and other synthetic opiods now. They use it to cut other drugs like cocaine because it is 50x stronger than heroine.
Drama, ptsd normally. They have such bad memories, they would do anything to forget, even for a bit.
Sometimes it’s peer group pressure they see others doing it having a good time so they think they’re missing out. It’s sad as there’s many reasons why people take drugs if you’re unfortunate enough to be around it most likely you’ll try it.
Well I know when I was prescribed Percocet from my dentist. I never knew anything about it thought it was just pain pills. But it made you feel so good
@@HardCandy-fd4vz where n when did u c a fentanyl addict or methamphetamine freak having an actual good time ..try LSD now that my friend is a good time drug that induces fits of laughter not fits of psychosis
See what happens when you don't legalise pot. A far lesser damaging, even life enhancing drug, for work, play, pain relief, etc, etc, etc. Now, because of prohibition, we have seen heavier, more damaging drugs be invented and sold cheap. Not to mention the prescription drug epidemic that has taken hold. The blame for these new epidemics falls squarely on the shoulders of those who make the laws and enforce them. They created a black marketplace and give the drug their illegal value. Well done.
Spot on mate 😂
Australia say no please
Attention all citizens !
Attention all citizens !
This is your captain speaking
Stand by for a fentanyl crisis
I repeat
Stand by for a fentanyl crisis
All thanks to the CCP
60 minutes reported in this 3 years ago. This is not a new thing. We need aĺl opiod medications controlled for prescriptions and for importation. We have a huge drug crisis. I would even encourage drug testing at more workplaces especially when operating equipment or seeing patients.
When are people going to learn that everything in life is a CHOICE they do this to themselves . Everybody has free will everybody has moral conscious everybody knows right from wrong. THINK , THINK , THINK about the consequences it’s as simple as that.
We need to look at we have this hunger for drugs like meth etc as well.
First thing you must know is ...China's war doctrine ...on America ...
Yep
You got it 😮
Whatever happens in America will soon be in Australia. This doesn't shock me at all.
Biggest problem is noone seems to know something called moderation it works problem is people just wanna obliviate their self therfor they overdose
Aus has Medicare and I am pretty sure if some doctors start prescribing so much Opioids like what’s happening in US, Medicare or health department will step in.
The problem is that they’re under prescribing and people are going to go for the illegal option.
slow motion suicide
It's a lot worse than The Project! Hard to believe😮😂
Don’t take if u want to live
Popaganda never seen or heard of it being on the streets in aus
It's not.
@@Jay-ro2vn there are people in these comments saying it’s here. Everything else is here, why not Fentanyl?
Yoi dont know if its in Australia
Where and what drug lab makes this fentanyl? Users just want it and food is not a priority
Maybe addicts should be provided a place to get good clean drugs.
Take the money from the criminals and provide clean heroin so there never will be a chance for fentanyl in Australia.The war on drug doesn't work,if there wasn't a war on drugs fentanyl wouldn't even be a thing.🤯
yep.. when the government can make 1600 dollars a ounce for weed ..they will soon learn .if they sell there addictive pure drugs ..like meth ..there will be a lot less physcos on the streets .apparently clean drugs are good for you ..pmsl I think all drugs are legal in Uruguay..crime rate dropped heeps ....apparently
@@evelynspaghetti4978 but thay already do on weed .and non PBS prescriptions. so they will
Sorry but you're 100% wrong. Just look at Portland in the USA. They have legalised literally all drugs and the repercussions of that are devastating. When you have delusional progressive politicians who have a light on crime/drug attitude, all you do is encourage people to break the law.
By the way, these people don't want heroin, they want something stronger. Fentanyl is also a clean drug, much cleaner than heroin.
If there hadn't been getting fentanyl he would have just found something else. Addiction is not target specifically. Stop restricting viral pain medication.
It's not if but when this piosion will end up in every street drug in Australia ,. Chinese surply and Mexican drug cooks , don't care if their customer s die ,
Damn George Floyd missing out
Nothing wrong with making money on the side.
Says Satan...
Codified law
Straight from china
Well if your banging or snorting hard core stuff that's on you. What about doctors pushing drugs of dependence..most of it is easy too get
Whats up with some of these comments? Goodnesss me .
you see things like this yet they still won't legalise marijuana seriously. I was taking oxyys for my pain and i thought to myself which is worse oxy or weed so i got on medical marijuana, since i dont like the taste of smoking it i turn them into gummies just 2 is enough for pain but not to mess with my head
