Opioids are wonderful. They are one of our finest tools to be used in the right place, and may we never be without them. But that use has been grossly overplayed.
Imagine waking up from surgery without the looming fear of opioid addiction. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos chats with Dr. Will Shakespeare, Intermountain Healthcare's Medical Director of surgical operations and anesthesiology, and Bill Evans, a patient who has experienced opioid-free surgery firsthand. They dive into the innovative approaches being used to manage pain without relying on opioids, offering a fresh perspective on post-surgical care. Dr.
Shakespeare shares insights on non-opioid medications and nerve blocks, explaining how these alternatives can effectively manage pain for many surgeries. Bill Evans adds a personal touch by recounting his own journey through an opioid-free recovery, highlighting the benefits and challenges he faced along the way. This conversation doesn't shy away from discussing the crucial role of patient education and the risks associated with opioid use.
By the end, you'll be inspired to consider alternative pain management strategies that could make a world of difference in your recovery or that of someone you care about. Tune in to learn more about how Intermountain Healthcare is paving the way for safer, opioid-free surgeries.
