#96 - Narcolepsy Stories: My Patience Has Reached Its End


Listen Later

Narcolepsy is a misunderstood medical disorder and as such, it generates some fascinating stories and anecdotes when you treat narcolepsy. In this episode we will:

  • Discuss the difficulties narcolepsy patients go through just refilling their medications
  • Dissect the idea of narcolepsy patients and abuse of their drugs
  • Evaluate the enthusiasm the medical community has for the treatment of narcolepsy
  • Consider some of the less obvious obstacles narcolepsy patients face
  • Understand the difficulties with the depictions created of narcolepsy patients
