The new Florida law, while it will definitely help to get rid of the junkies with their fake MRIs, the doctor shoppers, and the greedy doctors who found out they could charge anything that want for 10 minutes of work and writing a few prescriptions, it hurts legitimate patients like myself.
The Department of Health is going to start investigating patients who receive a lot of pain medications every month, and the heavy duty narcotic pain medications, so they will be looking at patients like me and my medical records, and they don't have to have my consent.
I have nothing at all to hide, my medical record speaks for itself, 3 spine fusion surgeries, failed fusion surgery, titanium skull to tailbone, head stuck in the down position due to the failed fusion and 2 broken vertebrae at the C1 and C2 level, and a multitude of other spine related issues, it's going to cause delays in being able to be seen by my pain management doctor, and being forced every month to see countless other doctors when I don't need to.
For example, I will be forced to see my gynecologist every 3 months, be forced to see a doctor who specializes in hormones and hormone replacement therapy because my level of testosterone is far too low, and I'll have to see a blood specialist as well because my white cell count has now been abnormally high since 2006, I'll be forced to see an ophthalmologist for my eyes, and an ear, nose, and throat specialist because I'm deaf in my left ear, and be forced to see my primary care physician every single month for what will now be monthly physicals and check-ups.
I will be spending approximately 2 days per week, every week, in a doctor's office. I will have insurance co-pays to try and come up with for every one of these office visits, and co-pays to come up with for whatever tests these doctors decide to run on me.

I applaud the Florida legislature for wanting to finally take action on the pill mill doctors, and go after the junkies and doctor shoppers, but in the process, legitimate patients like myself will be punished right along with those junkies and doctor shoppers, and the pill mill doctors.
Legitimate patients will have to go through investigations, see countless other doctors, and pay for office visits and tests that we don't really need.

I have just one thing to truly be grateful for with this new law.
I have insurance and don't pay cash to a greedy pill mill doctor.
People without insurance are screwed under this new law, legitimate patient or not.
If you don't have insurance, you won't get your medications.
Doctors who only take cash, are eventually going to be shut down.

Honestly, I think this new law, as baby stepping it as it is, is still a little late to the party created by greedy pill mill doctors and the junkies out on the streets that they supply.

This is a very serious product review of the Amega Amwand, a medical device that claims it can completely relieve pain, "remind the body to heal itself", and strengthen the body's immunity, and many, many other medical claims.
This product is a total scam, a fraud, and it is costing very desperate people over $300.00 if they fall for it, and many already have.
People who live with chronic debilitating pain will try just about any product that claims it can relieve pain.
Those desperate people will waste their time and a lot of their money if they buy this product.
I feel that it is my duty to warn other people like myself who live with the constant chronic debilitating pain every day of our lives, that this is a product that they need to avoid.
Zero point energy, what Amega Global claims is the healing property/tool, is total science fiction.

The Amega Amwand is a total fraud!
Do NOT waste your time and money on this product because it is a total scam!
