I'm Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and today’s WELL guest is Dr. Rieder. He is a philosopher by training, bioethicist by profession, communicator by passion, and author of the book, “In Pain: A Bioethicist’s Personal Struggle with Opioids.” In Pain describes Dr. Rieder's sudden and intimate run-in with the health care system that left him dependent on oxycodone. In this podcast, we discuss:
- The nuances of pain
- Prescribing opioids for trauma, post-surgical pain, and long-term pain
- Opioid tolerance, dependence and addiction
- Naloxone
- Drug use and the developing brain
- How parents can advocate for their child if opioids are prescribed
- Parenting and building protective factors
- The moral obligation of the health care system to both manage pain and reduce harm.
