In this episode, we create a role play scenario of a patient who presents on a very complicated psychotropic medication regimen seeking yet more controlled substances. Dr. Jouney and Dr. Wang will role play the scenario, and then we have a group discussion of the approach to take when you encounter similar situations. Lots of valuable clinical pearls within.
