Linda discusses a very serious problem facing America – the opiate crisis.
Did you know that enough opioids were prescribed last year to provide every American with 36 pills?

Here with more this morning is Dr. Paul Sethi, an orthopedic surgeon working with “Choices Matter,” a recover initiative aimed at educating both patients and doctors about their options and seven-time NBA all-star and sports show host Grant Hill who has had multiple surgeries over the years and explains how he managed his pain during recovery.
