Stanford Medcast Episode 3: COVID-19 Mini-series - Pain Management

Tuesday, October 6, 2020, 12:00 AM - Thursday, August 31, 2023, 11:59 PM

This podcast episode discusses the impact of COVID-19 on pain patients. During the early stages of COVID-19, many patients did not receive procedures they were scheduled for, as the hospital and clinics were not allowing elective procedures. This contributed to longer periods of patients on opioids, and longer waits for needed surgeries/procedures. Now that things are beginning to return to normal at medical facilities, more patients are presenting in the offices, and they are being screened, masked and additional safeguards are in place.
