10 Broadcaster Press October 8, 2013 www.broadcasteronline.com The Prairie Doc Perspective Oh! we got trouble By Richard P. Holm MD Trouble, trouble, trouble, Oh! we got trouble, Right here in River City! With a capital "T" That rhymes with "P" And that stands for Prescription Drugs. Proof of this trouble comes from South Dakota's new Prescription Drug Monitoring Program or PDMP established by the South Dakota legislature in 2010. This tool is there to help prescribers and pharmacies know when a drug seeker is at the door falsely claiming a medical problem in order to obtain drugs to sell or abuse. We know that in South Dakota 162 people have obtained separate prescriptions for narcotics from more than ten physicians/PAs/NPs over only 8 months, and 55 have tapped at least six prescribers for such meds using six or more different pharmacies. We also know that since 2004, poisoning deaths in South Dakota from abuse or wrongful use of certain prescription drugs have averaged at 19 per year, mostly due to narcotics and opioids, and that number appears to be on the rise. Still, appropriate prescribing of narcotic pain medicine provides for many an escape from suffering. Rest assured that physicians and care providers will and should prescribe pain relievers without hesitation when such medicines are needed to help people in trouble. But with all that compassionate care comes excessive prescribing. In fact, the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program tells us that in the first eight months of this year in South Dakota there has been dispensed more than eleven million tabs of the specific medication hydrocodone with acetaminophen or Vicodin. That is 13 tabs for every South Dakotan. Other prescriptions for potentially abused medications commonly sold on the streets include zolpidem or Ambien, lorazepam or Ativan, methylphenidate or Ritalin/Concerta, and oxycodone with acetaminophen or Percocet, to name a few. The harms from drug abuse extend beyond the illicit user to those living nearby. The surrounding community so exposed has increased crime and violence, child and spouse abuse, motor vehicle accidents, sexually spread diseases, fetal malformations in children, and deaths due to accidental and intentional overdose. We've got trouble, trouble, trouble right here in South Dakota. This is a call to all physicians and pharmacies out there who are targeted by drug seekers. Do not fall for it. Use the PDMP, be aware of the danger to patients and society, and just say no when you should. And to those who are seeking illicit drugs, know that we are watching you.

Cherry, Vermillion Federal deadlock will put highway projects in a bind By Bob Mercer State Capitol Bureau The inability of Congress to get a new transportation program approved this year was bad enough for South Dakota’s highway project planning. Now the situation is about to turn much worse because of the deadlock over the federal budget. State Transportation Secretary Darin Bergquist said his department will need to become very cautious about bid lettings and must be sure sufficient federal funds will be available when South Dakota submits its bills. The danger is that state government otherwise could be caught in the middle with debts it can’t pay. All 50 states use a backfunding approach. They contract for projects to be constructed and then ask the federal government to pass along the money for the work. South Dakota sends bills approximately every two weeks. In addition to the current highway program officially expiring Sept. 30, and the deadlock over the next budget, Bergquist said a backlog of debt is mounting at the federal level in the highway program. He said the latest estimates show 95 percent of the expected 2015 federal highway funding will be needed just to cover projects already in the pipeline across the nation. In 2008 federal highway officials said they could cover only 50 percent of the bills being submitted for projects. “That created chaos among the states,” Bergquist said. Congress began supplementing the highway program with general funds, which really meant borrowing more money. Five years later Congress still hasn’t reached an answer about how to handle that problem too. Bergquist briefed members of the state Transportation Commission about the situation at their meeting Thursday. “You used the term ‘iron out,’” commissioner Sam Tidball of Fort Pierre told him. “I think they’re working with a pretty cold iron.” Bergquist said routine operations in South Dakota such as winter snow-plowing won’t be affected if there is a federal government shutdown.
