You Are Dismissed For A Positive Drug Screen For Heroin....what?????
UpdatedAfter reading the listed articles, I see that it is quite common for those taking Morphine and Oxycodone for pain on a regular basis to come up positive for heroin on drug screens. This situation happened to my husband this week. He had been on long-term MS-Contin 60 mg tid and Oxycontine 10 mg qid for breakthrough pain. At his last clinic visit, we were blown away when he was dismissed for doing heroin. He was told that for the numbers to be as high as they were, he would've had to ingested (eaten) the heroin. In spite of the absurdity of this being right, they still kicked him out of the clinic. I am SO thoroughly sick of him being treated like cattle at a sale for treatment of his chronic pain, that I could just scream. Denise in Alabama......DISGUSTED!!

Unless the doctor got his license by cheating on the tests, he knew your hubby wasn't using heroin. What the doc didn't like were the high numbers of opiates because he feared overdose, being sued for millions, and losing his license. He used heroin as an excuse instead of taking responsibility for high dosages of MS-Contin and Oxycontin. I've used both at lower does when I broke my heel in 5 places and it was the worst pain imaginable per my orthopedist. Your hubby was probably being over-medicated after building up a tolerance. Thank God he's alive.
