The Doctor Patient Forum is a national advocacy organization defending pain patients and the prescribers who treat them. We expose the truth about opioid policy, forced tapers, and patient abandonment. We expose the opioid elimination movement, and those at the center of it. Join Bev Schechtman and Claudia Merandi as we break down FDA moves, prescription surveillance systems like NarxCare, and the politics of addiction medicine. Because pain relief shouldn’t be a crime.
