Dr. Daniel Busch: Unpacking the Opioid Crisis and FDA's Role
“If anybody can help, I think that they should. Now make it so that when the doctor is going to prescribe an opioid, they've got to tell you, or your kid: hey, you're probably not going to get addicted, whatever they're going to tell you, but they have to tell you it's addictive.”
Imagine tracing the opioid crisis back to its roots, right from the Civil War. In this episode of 'Courage to Hope', host Tony Lagreca welcomes Dr. Daniel Busch, a prominent expert on the opioid epidemic. Dr. Busch takes listeners on a historical journey, explaining how opioids evolved from a wartime necessity to a widespread issue of addiction and overdose. The conversation doesn't stop at history; it dives into the present-day challenges, particularly the role of the FDA. Dr.
Busch argues for significant reforms within the FDA to prevent pharmaceutical companies from having undue influence over regulations. He also stresses the need for better education and awareness to combat this crisis effectively. Additionally, the episode touches on innovative research aimed at developing non-addictive pain treatments. If you're interested in understanding the complexities of the opioid epidemic and what can be done to address it, this episode is a must-listen.
