Just listened to this episode. Have you listen to the documentary podcast entitled Dr. Death? It is very relevant to the topic, and I would love to know your thoughts.
Hi John, no, I’ve never heard of it but will take a look. Thanks!
I am currently a CA-1 at a University I would rather keep anonymous but we have had a few residents recently struggle with substance abuse. I sincerely feel like we need to implement a program like you all have a UCSF. Can you please send me a copy of your current hospital policy to help me get this underway? Thank you very much.
Hi Justin. Dr. Fitzsimons is at MGH, not UCSF, but regardless I will send you some documents from him to your email address you’ve included here. I hope it helps you start a program.
Best,
Jed
