The Pharmacist - Dan Schneider | PAIN POD

How many times a day are YOU asked if you’re the pharmacist? Countless! Well join us in this episode of the PAIN POD while Mark “Pain Guy” Garofoli chats with literally THE Pharmacist, Dan Schneider, famous for all of his amazing efforts within the Opioid Crisis, as highlighted on the Netflix series “THE Pharmacist”. Every 7 minutes an American dies of a drug overdose, and that’s soon to be every 5 or 6 minutes based on upcoming data confirmation. Conversely, every 30 minutes a baby is born dependent, not addicted, to opioids. Headline after headline sensationalizes a reality that many times heroin utilizers begin their respective diacetylmorphine (that’s Heroin folks!) utilization via prescription opioids. Check out this JAMA article as the foundation for so very many headlines: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/1874575. Dan Schneider’s life work, and “story”, were first highlighted in this article: https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/article_934b7d20-a78a-535a-8691-26cfc7f9bee7.html, and he joins us in this podcast to dive much, much deeper into the saga, culminating with avenues for all of us to join the efforts, via his “Tunnel of Hope” organization: https://tunnelofhope.org/. How did we get into the “War on Drugs”, or perhaps better yet, how in the world do we get ourselves out? There’s 330 million Americans waking up everyday, living day in and day out as the solution. If every one of us helped one person, imagine the world. So listen in to this episode of the PAIN POD now, to hear THE Pharmacist chat with the Pain Guy, in an effort to do just that, help save and improve lives, one at a time!
