Q: TN's Medical Board has suspended all pain medications, regardless of the patients condition?

Don't these patients have rights? Can the medical board suspended or revoke every physician license that prescribes these medications?

I, too, live in Tennessee and haven't heard this, nor have I had any problem getting my pain medication.  I also did a Google search and a Google news search but couldn't find anything either.  Can you tell us where you heard it or give us a link to where you read it, please?

personally i think is crap.the medical board should not  be aloud to do this.if anything they should be doing an investigation on this and to review the dr's before doing so cause what'll happen is that if a person is in alot of pain the next best thing to a dr is a drugdealer.unfortunately.
