I really like the tone you're adopting in these pieces, Lynn, especially your emphasis on compassion. In a colloquial sense, I believe that people seek what they need; and that behind many discussions of "wellness" lurks a very dangerous assumption that anyone who needs medication for anything is somehow compromised or weak. Purity is not our natural state. We're all broken or incomplete in some way. Compassion is essential.

Very interesting and I hear so many patients in chronic pain unable to access treatment.

Unfortunately more so today than anytime in my career.

Thank you. I am aware of a large population that can’t get proper treatment and die.
