Since the implementation of the law in Maine, many clinicians, particularly mid-levels, will no longer prescribe opioids at all - leaving many chronic pain patients without any help. Physicians left in the area absorbed many of these patients - we are also the physicians treating opioid addicted patients. Our practices have become skewed - therefore the data points are now skewed and it would be misleading, arbitrary and WRONG to assume that if we have X number of patients taking > 90MME of opioids that we are practicing bad medicine. Additionally that guidance feature put out by the CDC does not account for skewed population centers of older sicker patients. It is an arbitrary way to make a judgement about a practice.
