The Scope Radio show

Summary: More women in the United States die each year from prescription drug overdoses than from automobile accidents. One reason might be women experience pain differently from men, and therefore may be prescribed more pain pills. Dr. Kirtly Jones talks about why these preventable deaths are occuring and how they can be prevented. You'll also learn why something as simple as cleaning out your medicine cabinet could save a life.
