Dopo un'esperienza personale con il dolore e il suo trattamento con antidolorifici oppioidi, Travis Rieder si concentra sulla riduzione del danno nella gestione del dolore. Il suo lavoro intreccia intimamente le proprie lotte con gli antidolorifici oppioidi, il contesto storico e un esame critico del sistema sanitario. L'approccio di Rieder combina la narrazione personale con una ricerca avvincente per affrontare le complesse epidemie di dolore, dipendenza da oppioidi e overdose. Il suo obiettivo è offrire spunti e potenziali soluzioni per un approccio più responsabile al dolore.
A bioethicist's eloquent and riveting memoir of opioid dependence and withdrawal -- a harrowing personal reckoning and clarion call for change not only for government but medicine itself, revealing the lack of crucial resources and structures to handle this insidious nationwide epidemic.

Focusing on the ecological and ethical implications of human fertility rates, this treatise presents a compelling argument that current reproductive choices contribute to a public health crisis. It explores the tension between individual responsibility and broader global challenges, such as resource scarcity and environmental degradation. The author posits that even small reductions in fertility rates could significantly impact carbon emissions and climate change, urging prospective parents to consider the long-term consequences of their decisions in an increasingly strained world.
From the small stuff like single-use plastics to major decisions like whether to have children, Rieder defines exactly how we can change our thinking and lead a decent, meaningful life in a scary, complicated world.
