Episode 3 addresses some of the unintended consequences of the 2016 CDC Opioid Guidelines which were widely misinterpreted and implemented.
After the guidelines were published, Dr. Stefan Kertesz, a Professor of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and attending physician at the Birmingham VA Health Care System, began researching and writing about the unintended consequences, especially for stable patients with severe chronic pain who were subject to prescription opioid reductions or who lost access to the medications altogether.
This is his talk from the 2022 Addiction Medicine Conference titled, Irrational Exuberance, Incautious Stoppage: Lessons from Our Prescription Opioid Story.
