Physicians Combatting Opiod Abuse

Physicians Combatting Opiod Abuse

More than 90 people in the U.S. die from an opioid or heroin overdose every day. The AMA is committed to stopping the opioid abuse and misuse epidemic and preventing opioid-related deaths. AMA’s Opioid Task Force – which includes 25 national and state-level physicians’ organizations – has developed a number of recommendations to combat opioid abuse and misuse. This includes…

– Encouraging physicians to use state prescription drug monitoring programs
– Promoting effective, evidence-based prescribing and treatment
– Supporting access to comprehensive, affordable and compassionate treatment
– Ending the “stigma” – i.e., patients with chronic conditions deserve good care and compassion and shouldn’t be judged
– Expanding access to naloxone – which reverses the effects of drug overdoses – through co-prescribing
– Encouraging the safe storage and disposal of prescription medication
Thanks to the combined efforts of AMA’s task force and other leading health organizations and state-level advocacy organizations – including MAG and the MAG Foundation – progress is being made. For example, a 2015 AMA report found that, “Between 2012 and 2016, the number of opioid prescriptions [in the U.S.] decreased by more than 43 million – a 16.9 percent decrease. Every state saw a decrease in opioid prescriptions during this time period.” AMA also determined that, “Physicians and other health care professionals used state [prescription drug monitoring programs] more than 136.1 million times in 2016 – a 121 percent increase from 2014.” And the AMA report noted that “nearly all 50 states now have naloxone access laws.”

Cobb Chamber of Commerce Hosts Blue Sky Exhibits, Lee Davis Law, and Win-Tech, Inc

On this week’s episode we hosted several businesses who were recognized at the recent 2017 Cobb County Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year Awards. Tim Kelley and Don Keller, of Blue Sky Exhibits (2017 Small Business of the Year), Lee Davis of Lee Davis Law LLC (2017 Business to Watch), Allison Giddens of Win-Tech (Finalist for SBOY and a Top 25 Small Business of the Year), and Mike Watkins of Dirty Deeds Junk Removal (2017 Business to Watch).

Win-Tech opened its doors 29 years ago this summer as a job shop. Dennis Winslow, the President, is a veteran and a second-generation machinist. The company has grown from a 10-man machine
shop to nearly 50 people that do businesses with companies like Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney. The company’s website explains, “Everything we do at Win-Tech is focused on one objective: To deliver an integrated solution and top quality product, on time and on budget. Our goal is for you to view us as YOUR machining department, allowing us to partner with you and provide your custom precision machining needs.

We are experienced, accessible, and accurate. Our seasoned project management team has extensive experience in the automotive and aerospace machining industry. Our team leaders are always available to discuss your machining needs, listen to your concerns, or give you a status report. We realize you are looking for more than just machining, you’re looking for someone who will respond and support your projects.

Our integrated approach allows us to provide customers with completed kits and assemblies and for us to seamlessly interface with your business. We use JobBOSS software, which enables our managers to track and control the entire process from start to finish.”

Lee Davis is a civil litigation attorney. Since 1997, Lee has practiced primarily in the areas of commercial litigation and real estate litigation. He is admitted to practice in all state courts of Georgia, as well as federal courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia. In May 2010, Lee was admitted to the Bar of the United States Supreme Court. He has made it his career to help people and small businesses with problems they experience in everyday life, as well as business disputes of all types.

At Lee Davis Law, LLC their philosophy is to be their client’s team-member – someone to whom you can ask questions and receive straight-forward answers in plain English. Their team shares this philosophy and it defines the firm. Their focus is to professionally and competently serve their clients, while at the same time being easy to work with and approachable. Lee Davis Law earnestly strives to accomplish the goals that are important to their clients in an efficient and ethical manner, and understand that clients’ interests and goals are to resolve their business and personal matters, and not merely to provide legal work for the firm. Therefore, Lee Davis Law offers their services in a way that is economical, creative and practically helpful.

Mike Watkins, founder of Dirty Deeds Junk Removal shared about his “pack rat” mentality, and over time how he and his wife both became increasingly frustrated with over-stuffed closets, cluttered garage and messy basement. The couple began de-cluttering and organizing one room at a time. During this process, they actually found they had been looking for, as well as items that were no longer needed but could be donated. Mike made a trip to our favorite charity and the rest was either recycled or thrown away.

The transformation had begun! Life started to get easier. No more looking for things or buying new ones. Everything had a place and organizing was easier with the new found space. Studies show that when we get rid of unwanted items and clutter in our lives, we have better concentration, better focus, a sense of control and increased energy. We can live a calmer and unclouded life.
