Great series - this could be an entire podcast by itself subject wise.

I agree! Wish there were more episodes. Nice TAL style, too. Other ATL podcasts don’t nail the right conversational tone for me personally.

Great series. Online services seems like a great solution for controlled substances. The most important aspect is being able to contact the doctor. I had to stop taking a controlled substance because my in-person doctors would forget to fill the RX and I couldn't contact them. Like the person at the end of this story, I had to ration my medication as a result, and if I ran out too quickly, I would have life-threatening side effects from withdrawal. How ironic that the system to keep us safe can make the medications inaccessible and life threatening.

Nice! Thanks for this. I would love to talk to Ethan about the war on chronic pain patients, digestive health, anxiety, and depression. And how it is causing "the snake chasing the tale" situation that's harming millions of people and with no end in sight.
