Thanks for the link Lefty. Very impressed with Keith's statement. Sounds like BIEL is willing to extend the offer if they get a strong response.

"I have been around pain management for over 15 years. I have worked for Purdue, Elan and several companies selling everything from Oxycontin to intrathecal snail spit run through pain pumps. I have seen and heard every pain talk from doctors touting opioids, pain pumps, neurostimulators, ultrasound, injections, literally everything. I have heard all the messaging from companies "pain is what the patient says it is" "pain scales for every patient" "pain is the 5th vital sign" all became compelling reasons to treat pain, but here we are with a full blown crisis. All treatment options have their place for the right patient, and all come with an inherent risk. We all know that, so why not an OTC device thats FDA cleared, no its not a 30k surgical procedure, but its proven to reduce opioid consumption, and over 1 million people have now found relief with Actipatch. We are offering 5000 free Actipatch devices to anyone willing to try this alternative. We will do more when this works, sometimes the answer may be a lot easier than we think. Allowing patients to self treat with a device may keep their pain from getting so bad before they get to a doctor, they require opioids. So we are happy to match efficacy with procedures, opioids and others, but heck, you can get ours without a trip to the doctor, or a pre-authorization call."
