I do with every patient. #rasjacs

It does drive me crazy when people have been in the hospital for a while and not taking any opioids or complaining of pain and we discharge him, and we send them home with a bottle full of pills #rasjacs

I agree. I also think that we think in the US that medicine or healthcare Can I offer and efficient fixed to foundational health problems #racjacs

I agree that the roots of this are deep. We all have culpability. I’m optimistic that the Physician community is moving things in the right direction. #rasjacs

I am curious, was China particularly austere in prescribing?? #racjacs

Patients with a history of opioid use disorder need expertise from pain docs and a specific pre op pain plan. Takes resources which make it hard to achieve #rasjacs

PROs are tough. About 5 percent of patient will report severe pain, many of these patients are particularly at risk for persistent use after surgery. I don’t think opioids are the solution for these complex patients, both short-term and long-term

Use evidence based guidelines, tell patients surgery hurts and set their expectations regarding how many pills most patients take, Tylenol and ibuprofen around the clock, and discussing new persistent use after surgery. #rasjacs

.Michael Englesbe is always finding ways to combat the consequences of healthcare from within it. He joins Dr. Mezrich on The Sett podcast to discuss how he got into surgery, and why despite its shortcomings he believes it to be the best job in the world. bit.ly/3bBaOBb
