I talked to someone yesterday who has had Bay Clinic (Kea'au) as a PCP for seven years, and I mentioned this topic. He told me his doctor has told him his/her strong views of the policy.
The policy comes from the director of Bay Clinics. Not sure how long she has been in charge, but she came along since my friend has gone there. She came here from Florida, which apparently is the land of Oxy mills these days ...
So her view of narcotic pain killers is heavily colored by the Florida culture, and she hasn't yet figured out that Hawai'i may be different.
The doctor in question disagrees with the policy, but can't do anything about it.
So now you know where the source of it lies.
