Applied Medication Safety

1.01 Pain Mechanisms

Learn about different pain types, what drugs are used to treat pain, and where those drugs work in the pain pathways. This is a helpful review for getting the most of the interviews and conversations.
Disclaimer: The first person narration of safety events is done to preserve the learning power of stories. The safety events discussed are fictional though the risks and safety concerns are very real. They are created from over decades from multiple home care, acute care, and long-term care institutions; and gathered from discussion with peers around the world who shared their stories to help others. In no way do these fictional safety events reflect the patient experience at my current employer. This podcast is purely a personal and private endeavor to enhance patient safety in some small way.
