Segerblom- NV Idiot Of The Week

Moron of the Week

From Yahoo News: A bill that would allow patients addicted to prescription drugs to sue the doctors who prescribed the medication — and the drug's makers — was met with stiff opposition Wednesday in a Nevada legislative hearing.
Sen. Tick Segerblom, D-Las Vegas, said doctors aware of the risks associated with addiction from prescription drugs should be responsible if those adverse effects are realized.
"They know the person can get addicted to the drug so they should pay for the process of them getting off it," said Segerblom, the sponsor of SB75.
People who packed hearing rooms in Carson City and Las Vegas were overwhelmingly opposed to the measure. Sen. Ruben Kihuen, D-Las Vegas, as acting chairman urged testifiers to keep their remarks short because of the large number of vocal opponents.
"This bill ties the hands of physicians and takes away the rights of patients to choose which risk to assume while seeking treatment for their diseases," said David Johnson, a Las Vegas physician. "Yes, some drugs may be addictive, but that may be the less important issue when fighting the disease or symptom."
Conditions such as cancer often require potentially addictive drugs that come with the risk of severe side effects, but often they are the only way to fight the life-threatening illness, Johnson said.
"Everything in medicine has a risk," he said. "Most often the good effects outweigh the bad, but we don't know which patient will have a bad side effect." http://news.yahoo.com/measure-create-liability-addictive-drugs-132414776.html
First, anybody named after an insect that gives people Lyme Disease has to be an idiot.
But to allow people to sue pain management doctors and other doctors because they became addicted to prescription drugs has to be on drugs himself, that or his brain function was affected by the insect that bears his name.
People have pain, many people have to take pain pills for injuries, illnesses or psychiatric illnesses.  It happens and people do get addicted to the pills but that may be the lesser of two evils- either live with a tremendous amount of pain or be addicted to pain pills but free of pain.  Which would you choose, especially if you have a spinal injury, cancer, nerve injuries etc.
 However, the mental midget, Tickey Tacky Segerblom has caused problems by just proposing the law.  Some pain doctors and others have clamped down on the pills they prescribed because they are afraid f this bill passes, they may be sued or worse, even if they are not doing anything wrong.
And if you take a look at his picture, it appears Ticky Tacky appears strung out on something- maybe prescription pills?
