We have to take pain seriously because what we do as a surgeon or just living in general, being a human, there are certain things that cause pain and they can cause pain. It is important that you match that patient with their needs.
Pain management is a tightrope walk, especially when opioids are involved. In this eye-opening episode of 'What's the Fix: Prescription for Change', hosts Andrae Bailey and Lindsay Bettis sit down with Dr. Luke Elms to untangle the complexities of opioid prescriptions. Dr. Elms, a leading expert in pain management, dives into the delicate balance of providing relief while avoiding the pitfalls of addiction and misuse.
He champions a multimodal approach, emphasizing that no two patients are the same and each requires a tailored plan. The conversation also highlights the critical role of patient education and the need for transparent communication between doctors and patients. Dr. Elms doesn’t shy away from discussing the stigma surrounding pain management and how it can be reduced through better practices and understanding.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by the opioid crisis or looking for insights into responsible pain management strategies. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how we can move towards a future where pain relief doesn't come at the cost of addiction.
