Dr Gerald M Sacks Makes People Aware of the Adverse Effects of the Opioids

Dr Gerald M Sacks comes up with an advice for practitioners to focus on every diagnosis the patient has at every visit. They should not assume that there is no change as some of the slightest changes can really make a difference for patients with long-term morbidity and even mortality.

He further believes that physical activity and having a regular bowel movement are the real keys to the overall health of the body. Thus, the appropriate balanced nutrition with appropriate vegetables, fruits, and dietary fiber prevents OIC and other types of constipation.

Dr Gerald M Sacks further states that some patients do not want to get addicted to opioids, but they have to in order to manage their pain. He explains that they do not need to take opioids at all as their pain can be easily managed by a pain specialist. He further makes people aware of the adverse effects of these opioids as taking these things for a prolonged period changes you medically, biochemically in every way.

As an anesthesiologist in Santa Monica, Dr Gerald M Sacks received his medical degree from UMass Chan Medical School and has been in practice for more than 20 years. He provides pain relief during and after an operation, and treats acute and long-standing pain problems. Besides, he is affiliated with Olympia Medical Center and also specialized in Orthopedic Surgery and Pain Medicine.
