The 10 Principles for Doctors Prescribing Opiate to Pain Patients

Dr. Howard Heit gives the 10 principals, or as he calls them, the "10 commandments" that all doctors must consider before prescribing opiate medications to pain patients. This clip was excerpted from a talk given at "The New Understanding of Pain" program. The program was put on by the National Press Foundation in collaboration with The America Public Health Association and was supported by PriCara and the NPF Program Fund.
