Dr. Chad Kollas has spent more than two decades challenging myths and misinformation about opioids in pain care. In this episode, he joins us to break down the FDA’s latest opioid label changes, explain why they matter for patients, and share his perspective as a palliative care physician who has been on the frontlines of this debate since the early 2000s.

We talk about:

• The significance of the FDA's new opioid label

• The ethical failures of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in pain patients

• How propaganda has shaped the narrative around opioids

• What patients and providers need to know moving forward

If you’ve ever wondered how we got here and what hope there is for change you won’t want to miss this conversation.
