Episode 6.46 - Fact Checking the Opioid Crisis with Addictions Physician Dr. Monty Ghosh!

The Breakdown With Nate Pike

Opioid Crisis Part 2? On an important follow up to last weeks round table discussion with advocate Guy Felicella and columnist Adam Zivo, we're sitting down with an expert in addictions and addiction treatment, Dr. Monty Ghosh to fact check what was said as well as ensure the context of our episode is set where it should be!! From his U of C bio where he is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Cumming School of Medicine, "Monty Ghosh is an Internist and Addiction Specialist who works at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton as an Internist as well as the Foothills and Rockyview Hospitals doing Addiction Medicine in Calgary. He works with multiple community based not for profit organizations to provide support for marginalized populations including The Alex and The Calgary Drop-In Centre. He also helps foster and create unique programs to support those living with substance use, experiencing homelessness, and with other vulnerabilities. He is the Medical Co-Lead for the AHS Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) Program." Don't forget, we have merch that's available at www.abpoli.ca!
