We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics.
Dr. Heather Bell and Dr. Kurt DeVine take a detour from their usual addiction-focused discussions to tackle the pressing issue of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection', they bring in a trio of experts to shed light on various facets of the crisis.

Andrew Baker, Chief Medical Examiner from Hennepin County, dives into the challenges faced by post-mortem community workers, including medical examiners and funeral directors, as they navigate the complexities brought on by COVID-19. His insights are both eye-opening and deeply humanizing. Kathryn Como-Sabetti from the Minnesota Department of Health then takes the stage to break down contact tracing and mitigation strategies, offering practical advice and shedding light on the efforts to curb the virus's spread. Throughout the episode, Drs.
Bell and DeVine also touch on crucial topics like social distancing, drug fatalities, testing protocols, ICU survivorship, and quarantine guidelines. They explore how healthcare workers are coping with the unprecedented demands placed upon them during this global health crisis. This episode is a treasure trove of information for anyone looking to understand the multifaceted impact of COVID-19 from a medical perspective.
