Why do we accept - even promote - palliative care for non terminal “patients”?
Today’s sobering signal looks at the growing global synthetic opioid crisis - and how policy approach seems all too similar to that applied to South Africa’s energy crisis : mitigation not prevention. “Safe spaces” to shoot up and “demand management” rather than addressing the supply side pain points to prevent rather than accommodate the problems.
