Submit an ADA accommodation request & ask to speak to their risk management coordinator. Feel free to provide them with a copy of the Federal regs that require continuing RX & modifying policy as an ADA accommodation. DOJ is taking action now, where they haven't before

A society is judged by its most vulnerable people the handicapped, sick, infirm, diseased and weak. The way that we now are treating this populace is almost criminal. It’s almost Euthanasia by disorder, whether sick or injured. They won’t outlive the pain & mistreatment

It’s said a society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable,the disabled,diseased,infirm & weak. The way that we take care of this part of the populace is criminal. It’s bordering on Euthanasia by disorder,whether injured or ill. They won’t outlive the pain & mistreatment.

Here's what their policies have done: usatoday.com/story/opinion/2…
Bureaucrats are telling your doctor how to treat pain. And patients suffer needlessly.

Bureaucrats are telling your doctor how to treat pain. And patients suffer needlessly.

Policymakers’ fear of opioids has pressured hospitals, doctors and dentists to switch to acetaminophen, no matter how severe the patient's pain.
