Claudia and Bev discuss the updated CDC Guidelines with Dr. Sarah from Maryland. They answer the following questions:

Is it an improvement?
Are the 2022 Guidelines more or less restrictive?
Will it help pain patients?
Were limits from the 2016 Guidelines a misapplication or was it intentional?
Did the CDC violate their own guidelines on how to create guidelines?
