No affliction which can be added to an already existing physical trouble can compare in horror with that of a drug habit.
Imagine the very people we trust with our health, grappling with their own hidden battles. In this episode of 'Habits that Handicap', Charles B. Towns pulls back the curtain on the often-overlooked issue of drug addiction among physicians. He reveals how doctors, despite their medical knowledge, can fall prey to the very substances they prescribe.
The episode paints a stark picture of how tolerance to drugs can lead to severe physical changes, making it nearly impossible for addicted doctors to cut back or quit. Fear of exposure and professional ruin keeps many from seeking the help they desperately need, creating a dangerous situation not just for themselves but for their patients too. Towns highlights the unique risks faced by physicians, who have easy access to drugs and medical instruments, making them particularly vulnerable.
His approach is raw and non-judgmental, sparking a serious conversation about this critical issue. If you're interested in understanding the complex challenges of addiction within the medical profession, this episode offers a compelling and thought-provoking listen.
