Most patients decline the pharmacy consultation. Dr. Melissa Durham wants you to stop doing that. On this episode of The Chronic Truth, clinical pharmacist and USC Pain Center professor Dr. Melissa Durham talks with Kim about the pharmacist’s role in chronic pain management, de-escalating meds, catching dangerous interactions, identifying drugs that have been forgotten about for years, and advocating for patients when the system creates roadblocks. She covers the opioid epidemic’s three waves, the unintended consequences of the CDC guidelines, and what you can do right now to get more out of your healthcare team.
