From Dr. Joe Cravero, Anesthesiologist-in-Chief, Boston Children’s Hospital. Responding to the Association does not equal Causation post. There are many reasons why prolonged use of opioids occurs including abuse/misuse. Dr. Eshel A. Nir of the Rambam Health Care Campus, Israel discovered an important typo. Drs. Viviane Nasr and Susan Nicolson are MDs (not MS as printed). Dr. Lynne Maxwell provide a YouTube video on anaphylaxis. Dr. Elliot Krane, Stanford’s Lucille Packard Hospital on his first experience with ChatGPT.
