I’m sure most of us have experienced aspects of healthcare delivery that seem, shall we say, less than ideal.

Maybe you’ve found yourself wondering just how, on earth, we managed to get where we are.

How can our sophisticated healthcare systems, sometimes lead to such poor care?

This week’s article is truly unique because it is a narrative review telling the story of one such healthcare failure: the opioid crisis.

Even if you feel your work doesn't directly relate to the opioid crisis, I hope you consider spending some time with this article. It helps us understand the current state of healthcare, and perhaps you will find some ideas for how we can move forward.
