Show Notes
Against a backdrop of overdose deaths caused by illegal opioids, there are chronic pain patients who have long been prescribed opioids in order to make life bearable. Many are experiencing difficulty renewing their opioid prescriptions because doctors fear retribution from medical organizations and governments for taking care of their patients.
Guests: Marvin Ross, writer on health issues for Huffington Post Canada, including the column “Ontario’s War on Pain Patients”
Barry Ulmer, Executive Director of the Chronic Pain Association of Canada
