Kurzner, who was never a heavy prescriber of opioids despite being a surgeon, does see advantages to the electronic system. Kurzner stated “There is growing consensus among practicing physicians that the use of opioids in chronic pain management is not optimal. · For acute pain, prescribe only the number of days that the pain is expected to be severe enough to require opioids. Shatterproof recommends Naloxone be available without doctor prescriptions and that anyone administering the drug be indemnified for its use in an emergency. Having Naloxone available during opioid overdoses could save thousands of lives. Shatterproof recommends mandatory treatment to stem the problems these people have and stop them from spreading use and crime throughout the community. Not only do medical personnel need further education, the public does as well. Shatterproof recommends any time a patient receives more than a three-day prescription they sign a consent defining risks and benefits of the opioids they are receiving.
