To convict one doctor, zealots at DEA tore up pain guidelines developed over four years.(Drug Enforcement Administration)
Last August, after an historic collaboration between the Drug Enforcement Administration and the University of Wisconsin's Pain & Policy Studies Group, the DEA published new and widely applauded Pain Management Guidelines intended to protect physicians from prosecution by overzealous federal agents. In October the DEA suddenly withdrew the Guidelines, effectively trashing years of effort. Why?
According to the Washington Post, "The DEA's abrupt turnaround appeared to have been triggered when defense lawyers tried to introduce the new Guidelines in the trial of Dr. (William) Hurwitz"--a Virginia pain specialist accused of over-prescribing. Shortly after the Guidelines were withdrawn, the US prosecutor successfully petitioned the court to exclude them as evidence.
In the Pain Guidelines, the doctors and the DEA had agreed that the government should stop investigating doctors like Hurwitz simply for being active in pain management--and stop prosecuting those few who followed the recommendations but unwittingly prescribed opiates to deceitful patients.The DEA arbitrarily reversed that agreement.
