Join us for Part 2 of the conversation with PharmD and PA, Norman Curtiss.  In this episode, we wrap up with Norman's personal journey to becoming a physician's assistant after battling alcohol and Adderall addictions for the better part of a decade.  We also discuss failures in the system of mental health, both in clinical practice, as well as the educational system forcing guidelines and one-size-fits-all approaches to care down our throats.  We appreciate Norman's willingness to outline and describe his trials and tribulations in life, and how it has set him up with an even better understanding of the healthcare system and how he can best help others who are struggling, through a compassionate, thorough, and common-sense approach to care.
