Case Vignette
You’re rotating on a service treating a patient with chronic pain and opioid use disorder. The medical team members are frustrated with the patient and frequently comment that the patient is “making bad choices” and “manipulating” the team by exaggerating his reports of pain.
How would you want to respond to the medical team? What would be the key components of your treatment plan?
