Prescription opioid abuse has become a major issue around the world, especially within the United States and Canada. Surgeons’ high rate of opioid prescriptions places them in a critical position of working with patients to manage their pain. This book, edited by Dr. Li of Oregon Health and Sciences University, takes a comprehensive, practical look at the national opioid epidemic and provides specific otolaryngology-specific data on chronic opioid usage.
