I worry that if I have terrible pain in the future, much like some of these folks have now, I may also receive inadequate pain care because I've been flagged as someone who may misuse the medication.
What if the way we've been tackling the opioid crisis is all wrong? In this compelling episode of 'The Social Exchange', host Zach Rhoads digs deep into the complexities of the opioid epidemic, challenging the standard narrative that many of us have come to accept. Through conversations with experts who have dedicated their lives to understanding this issue, Rhoads uncovers some uncomfortable truths and poses tough questions that need answers. Is our current definition of addiction helpful or harmful?
Are the rising drug-related deaths truly tied to opioids as we believe? And are we putting doctors and pain patients at greater risk by rolling back pain prescriptions? This episode doesn't shy away from these difficult topics. It also explores alternative solutions like medical marijuana and scrutinizes the role of politicians and media in shaping public perception. By the end, you'll be left pondering how we can better support those in pain and improve our healthcare system.
Tune in for a thought-provoking journey that promises to reshape your understanding of the opioid crisis.
