CPI Chronic Pain Ireland’s Post

ASK 4 👉 Universal Medical Card Access for Chronic Pain Patients 💡 Revise the Medical card eligibility and make available for all diagnosed chronic pain patients to cover necessary treatments and therapies without financial strain. #chronicpain #GE2024 💡 Why This Matters: Medical card access would alleviate financial stress for chronic pain patients, many of whom face significant costs for ongoing treatment. Currently, limited access to medical cards can prevent patients from receiving timely and comprehensive care. 💡 Expected Impact: Access to medical cards would reduce out-of-pocket expenses, enabling consistent treatment and helping to prevent costly emergency interventions. 👉 Read more about our election priorities and Candidates can pledge their support via https://shorturl.at/yyCBg #YourVoteMatters

Unfortunately, we are rewarded for catching diagnoses like pneumonia, Strep Throat, and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) but not rewarded for not catching those diagnoses. Most of these conditions have a grim reputation even among physicians. The reality is that most don't need treatment and are quite benign. Does the PE in a person with low O2 sat and hx of HF need treatment? The answer should be obvious. But does the incidental PE caught because of defensive medicine warrant treatment? It does, if the physician wants to avoid litigation. A better approach in medicine is to capture the overall mortality rate of a physician than try to squeeze the most litigation dollars out of a single case. The latter is more short-term lucrative and the former will result in much better healthcare, access, and patient health.
