6-22-20 Allen Cardoza and Dr. Matt Polacheck interview Harry Nelson
More than 2 million Americans struggle with opioid use disorder, and about 130 Americans on average die every day from an opioid overdose. For over a decade, Nelson has been the leading legal expert on prescribing practices, pain treatment, addiction and behavioral health. He has become known for turning healthcare safety disasters into learning opportunities out of which safer, better healthcare can emerge.
In his latest book, The United States of Opioids, Nelson delivers critical insights about the Opioid Crisis, along with a roadmap for strategies for the way out. In this not-to-be-missed interview, he shares how his breakthrough book is a powerful guide to understanding the deeper roots of the crisis beyond health policy; he explains how we became a nation imprisoned by pain and how we can break free to reclaim our rights, our lives, and our health.
