"Yes, the opioid crisis in this country has caused a reckoning in the medical field about how to treat patient pain. Ignoring the pain will not make it go away.

Options are available beyond opioids, and policymakers and health care providers need to be aware that attention to effective health care practices must move beyond silencing to solutions."

Layla Parast is a statistician.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "It's time to address pain despite the opioid crisis."
