Show Notes
Human Rights Watch is investigating the issue of chronic pain patients being denied their opioid pain medications and left in distress, with some patients living in such pain that they’re considering taking their own lives. Although this particular investigation is based in the United States, the organization says their findings will likely have relevance north of the border.
Guest: Diederik Lohman, Health Director for Human Rights Watch
