N.Y. Times Magazine Cover Story

Given my interest in pain and pain management (I am currently teaching a course entitled "The Law, Ethics, & Policy of Pain Management"), I was pleased to find the N.Y. Times Magazine's Cover Story entitled, "When is a Pain Doctor a Drug Pusher?"

Informative, but does little, IMO, beyond describe some of the policy problems relating to regulation of opioids.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Doris!

FYI, we do have a link to the Kennedy Institute's ethics on the web down on the right. It's a wonderful resource and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
