Article: Click Here Overzealous use of the CDC’s opioid prescribing guideline is harming pain patients  Richard A Lawhern PhD DECEMBER 6, 2018 AT 8:58 AM Congratulations to Kate Nicholson, Dianne Hoffmann and Dr Chad Kollas on an excellent summary of the many horrid impacts of the 2016 CDC guidelines.

The boy pressed a crystal snowflake ornament into the girl’s hand and disappeared into the crowd, unaware that his simple act of kindness saved her from the guilt that threatened to consume her.

For her, it means only one thing --- even beyond the grave, her mother ca
