I just listened to this podcast and wow, it really made me think about how complicated the opioid crisis is — especially how important patient education and new pain‑management strategies are instead of just handing out pills. It’s great to see conversations like this happening, and honestly it made me curious about how different countries approach pain care too (like the idea of treatment in Italy). Thanks for sharing something that actually made me pause and learn a bit more!
