    Description

    A middle aged man had been on a high but stable dose of opioids for years for chronic pain.  His provider decides to wean him. He says "I'm not sure I can handle it," but they keep going.  Is this what a caring or evidence-based physician would do?

    Two physicians, through dialogue and interviews, take a critical look at medical training and the culture of medicine and explore how interpersonal boundary clarity and the capacity to fully engage are essential to effective medical practice, mentoring, medical education, and a nourishing career. This podcast builds on Dr. Weiner’s book, On Becoming a Healer: The Journey from Patient Care to Caring about Your Patients (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2020). Hosted by Saul J. Weiner MD, and Stefan Kertesz MD MSc
