The Doctor Patient Forum

Why are pain patients treated like criminals, while people on Suboxone are celebrated as brave survivors?This isn’t just stigma, it’s a system. One that quietly rewrote the rules of who deserves compassion... and who gets discarded.In this video, we introduce a lens called Critical Drug Theory, based on Critical Theory, which helps explain how power, identity, and moral narratives shape public policy. It’s a way to understand why people with addiction are often seen as victims in need of care, while stable pain patients are labeled as privileged or problematic, even when both need medication.We break down how these narratives gained power, how they’ve influenced opioid policy, and why the system was rigged to treat pain relief as dangerous, but daily addiction treatment as virtuous.This video gives language to something many patients have felt but couldn’t name. It’s not political, and it’s not a conspiracy. It’s just the truth about how we got here and who got hurt along the way.🎥 Originally released as a Patreon exclusive, now public so more people can see what’s really going on.👇 Join our community & support the work:https://www.patreon.com/thedoctorpatientforum📌 Visit our website:https://www.thedoctorpatientforum.com/📢 Help spread the truth.

🎙️ Episode 56Scored. Flagged. Medically Abandoned. Forgotten.Unveiling NarxCare: The Hidden Scoring System in Your Medical RecordsThis is a rerelease of a 2022 podcast episode featuring attorney Jennifer D. Oliva.In this powerful conversation, Bev Schechtman and Claudia Merandi of The Doctor Patient Forum sit down with Professor Oliva to expose the implications of NarxCare and Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) on patient care — particularly for those living with chronic pain.They explore the secretive nature of risk-scoring algorithms, the lack of transparency in PDMP data, and the systemic discrimination embedded in these tools — especially for marginalized and disabled populations. Together, they make the case for regulatory oversight, algorithmic accountability, and why advocacy is essential to protect patient rights and restore ethical care.NarxCare is a secret risk-scoring algorithm embedded in electronic health records.Most patients cannot access or correct their PDMP data.These scores disproportionately flag patients with complex conditions as “high risk.”Errors in PDMP data can result in abrupt care abandonment and harm.Providers face pressure to under-prescribe due to fear of red flags.The opioid crisis has redefined pain care around liability, not compassion.There is little to no regulatory oversight of NarxCare or PDMP systems.Legislative action and public advocacy are urgently needed to protect patient safety and autonomy.Professor Oliva’s research and teaching interests include health law and policy, privacy law, evidence, torts, and complex litigation. She has served as a peer reviewer for the American Journal of Public Health, Yale Journal of Health Policy, Law, and Ethics, American Journal of Law & Medicine, Journal of Law and the Biosciences, and Big Data & Society.Her scholarship has been published by or is forthcoming in the Virginia Law Review, California Law Review, Duke Law Journal, Northwestern University Law Review, UCLA Law Review, North Carolina Law Review, Ohio State Law Journal, and online companions to the University of Chicago Law Review and New York University Law Review.She lives in Bloomington, Indiana.The Doctor Patient Forum has joined advocates nationwide in filing a citizen petition demanding that the FDA regulate NarxCare and all clinical algorithm software that scores patients.🛑 This affects patients with pain, addiction, and complex conditions.🗣️ Your voice matters.

Dr. Stefan Kertesz' Bio: Stefan Kertesz is a physician at the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Since 1996, Dr. Kertesz has focused his work on helping populations at high risk of receiving poor care, including people with pain whose care has changed a great deal in the wake of the US opioid crisis. He's certified in internal medicine and addiction medicine. Dr. Kertesz leads the only federally funded study that seeks to examine suicides occurring after prescription opioids are reduced in people with long-term pain. His team does this by interviewing family members or friends who contact his study team A brief study screening survey is available at https://go.uab.edu/csi A new interview study seeks bereaved family or friends who believe that they have lost a family member or friend to suicide during or after a reduction in opioid pain medication. Suicides of this nature have been reported, and they represent challenging events to understand. To date, there has been no effort to understand all the factors contributing to these losses, which matters for future prevention. The federally sponsored study team, affiliated with University of Alabama at Birmingham, offers a screening survey (online at https://go.uab.edu/csiopioids) for people who believe they lost someone. It's voluntary and highly confidential. People who qualify under the screening survey will be asked to consider whether they would like to do a longer interview.  Read more about the study here: https://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2023/12/8/why-we-need-to-study-suicides-after-opioid-tapering The CSI:OPIOIDs study is ethically approved by the Institutional Review Boards at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the US Department of Veterans Affairs. It is led by Dr. Stefan Kertesz at the UAB Heersink School of Medicine. All data are strictly confidential. Families or survivors who wish to consider participation should enter the screening website at https://go.uab.edu/csiopioids. There is no remuneration for the screening survey.
