Love the podcast. I hope it will keep going ❤️
Great resource for doctors
Well put podcast for drs resource I’ve really enjoyed all of it, succinct enough to be very useful well done team
What about the people who’ve tried everything else?
What if you’ve done it all and you have a painful, degenerative disease and you meditate and exercise and do physical therapy? It’s INSULTING that you think teaching s patient a “pain model” and suddenly their pain is cured. Sarah Fowler is one patient. A young person. She didn’t know better. What about the patients for whom opioids allow them to live, work, socialise, have a semblance of a life? How dare you assume that all chronic pain is psychological, or not that severe to require opioids, or just an uneducated view. You have done a great disservice to the minority of patients who rely on opioids. And you are ruining lives. Examine the evidence. There is none. This is a travesty. Opioids are safe and appropriate fir some patients and if you can’t tell the difference between people who benefit from opioids and people who have mild / mod pain and don’t need opioids and people who are drug seeking, you don’t deserve your medical licence. Stop harming those who live with severe, daily pain. Stop it!
