What:
For the third year in a row, Palm Beach County Medical Society Services is presenting a series of educational seminars for physicians and health care providers to raise awareness that anyone, including including physicians, may be affected by the growing opioid epidemic. The aim of the series is to highlight the consequences of addiction, the warning signs and symptoms, and to detail the resources available to people suffering from chemical dependency.
Who:
Dr. Richard Morgan, DO, who completed his residency at NYU Medical Center, was exposed to opiates during a routine dental procedure. A series of bad choices and unfortunate circumstances fueled by his addiction led Dr. Morgan to a federal indictment and ultimately a 14-year federal prison sentence. Today, he spends his time sharing his story to educate medical students, practicing physicians, and all clinicians on how to recognize addiction and guide patients to the help they need.
