- Love the DPF!
Bev and Claudia put on such such a great podcast. It’s a shame we live in a world where opioids have been so stigmatized. I really wish there were more people like Bev and Claudia advocating and shedding light into the world of pain patients and the damage the DEA has caused to Pain management. My only complaint is I want more uploads! haha. I listen to you guys at work religiously. Thank you for all you do.
