Living With HOPE Guest: Michael Schatman

My guest today is the Executive Director Foundation for Ethics in Pain Care. We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving pain care in the United States through returning control of the discipline to patients and their health care providers. Recent decades have witnessed the usurpation of control by special interest groups that we believe are not particularly interested in the amelioration of human suffering. FEPC represents a wide range of stakeholders invested in seeing pain care become more efficacious. Through education, research, and advocacy, the "business" of pain medicine will hopefully return to its noble (and more effective) roots of a "profession".
