The opioid crisis is a huge problem in Canada. So what are we doing about it at The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic?

Exactly 13 years ago, almost to the minute that I am writing this, is when I first nervously threw open the doors of my first office, located in the basement of the Cambridge Memorial Hospital.    The rooms I occupied then had been abandoned for ages, and it was only because my other office plans fell through at the last minute that I begged the hospital to let me rent some space.
