What do Mexico, drugs, society, the Bible, and whiskey have in common? Join us on this episode of the PAIN POD, as Mark “Pain Guy” Garofoli chats with Sam Quinones, author of “Dreamland” and “The Least of Us”, with the later having just released in October 2021. It’s often hard to see the forest within the trees, but Sam clears the fog for all of us to whittle it down on how to provide patient care for those in pain and/or with addiction. Come one, come all, to the Pain Pod!!!
