Brian and I talked about his experience as a patient and examined some of that through his lens as a writer and storyteller – those critical skills of listening to other people’s stories and really hearing what they have to say. He wrote an article for the Guardian diving into the opioid crisis and a lot of what that article covered is vital for #communityparamedics to understand and incorporate. After this article came out, our #MIHCP program brought him in as a speaker and that turned out to be one of the best education days we have had. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/28/opioid-epidemic-selects-white-victim-black-addict
