        Fantastic piece. The paradox of prevention is that it saves exponentially more lives than heroism, but is unsexy.

        Not paradox as much as business model. No money in ounces of prevention.

        This beautifully illustrates why more PCPs should treat opioid use disorder. Incremental progress - no quick cures.
