Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

We're also in a different era we need to acknowledge because I've had surgeries in all the eras, right?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

So when the Sacklers were running, I mean, if there is a true villain in it, it is the Sackler family who had a very well-financed campaign to convince doctors who hadn't studied pain.

Less than a 1% chance of addiction.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

Yeah, so they don't know and they're seeing all this data that was bullshit data that the Sacklers had come up with.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

So again, I can't expect them to like go specialize in pain medicine if they're a thoracic surgeon.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

They have to rely on studies and stuff.

So they were the victims of a very good campaign by a very well-funded dark ass family.

And so there was a period, I talk about this, most of my friends are stuntmen.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

They all have crazy injuries.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

Most stuntmen have a kit of opiates at their disposal.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

That doesn't exist anymore.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

So I also don't think we need to overreact to a situation that no longer exists to a large degree.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

You're not walking in with a toothache and walking out with two weeks of Percocet anymore.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

But I think a lot of that's in reaction.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

But they've slammed the door on it.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

So I don't know that it's the same issue as it was 10 years ago.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Rachel Zoffness (on pain)

I respect both of your positions.
