Stephen Alajajian is a foreign language learner and activist and author of "The Languages Blog"

Stephen speaks with host Zach Rhoads about one of Zach's talks with Johann Hari (author of "Lost Connections"). Stephen provides insight about language and culture that may help Westerners understand (and contend with) why we have trouble meeting our psychological needs. 

Stephen has traveled to many countries, learning  "indigenous languages"; learning about the cultures in which the languages are spoken; and-- perhaps most importantly-- trying to abstract a link between language and culture in a universal context.

Where The Story Meets Pain

Volume 3: "Pain Patients" 

Series Episodes: 

1. Addiction 

2. Drug Deaths

3. Doctors and Pain Patients

__________________________________________

Despite our best efforts, we’ve yet to slow the rate of death related to drugs in our country… In the year 2016, there were 64,000 total drug-related deaths.

Something is not working, and that truth is getting increasingly difficult to stomach. Host, Zach Rhoads spent the last two years challenging the standard story about the opioid crisis.

He spoke to relevant experts who have spent their lives thinking, writing, and speaking about this topic. He asked them:  Is there something wrong with— something missing from— our standard story? Their answers ahead... 


This investigative story has three parts: 

1) Addiction (Is there a definition of "addiction" that provides us with a useful concept?)  

2) An Epidemiology of Drug Deaths (Is the current rise in drug-related deaths as connected to 'opioids' as we commonly hear?)

3) Doctors and Pain Patients (By rolling back pain prescriptions, are we incentivizing doctors to provide quality care OR to do serious harm? What happens to the patients for whom prescribing opioids is their best option?)
