Abandoned Practices for Chronic Pain???
A lawyer asked me a couple thought-provoking questions:
Lawyer: "Doctor, is there a professional consensus on the use of opioids for chronic pain?"
Me: "No."
Lawyer: "Doctor, has the field of pain management abandoned using opioids for treating chronic pain?"

Khan Academy Operant Conditioning Questions
Hello all,
I've never had problems with operant conditioning; however, I've missed 2 questions from Khan now pertaining to operant conditioning. One has to do with a patient finding relief from pain due to acupuncture and deciding to continue acupuncture as a result.
I thought this was an example of positive punishment because acupuncture is being added in order to decrease pain; however they say negative reinforcement because pain is being removed and she decides to keep going to...
