In this special episode of Moral Medicine, Derek Blumke, the Veteran Impact Fellow for the Grunt Style Foundation, discusses the growing issue of overprescribing in the United States, particularly to those that wear and wore the uniform of our Armed Forces. Derek also discusses the Grunt Style Foundation and their mission, and his particular role in carrying out that mission. Finally, Derek talks about his own harrowing experience of taking Finasteride after he was prescribed it by the VA for hair loss (which goes against VA policy), along with several other prescription drugs he was given, and how it negatively impacted his life.
