And then I met a patient in clinic once who asked me a lot of really intelligent questions about medical cannabis, what it does. And you could say the same thing about insurance companies.

I don’t practice clinically in outpatient settings, and often the folks I’m seeing are there for other kinds of issues.

Substance use disorder is one of those complex issues in which clinical practice is changing rapidly. Sach Kale set up an outpatient clinic focused on substance use disorder for patients with cancer.

And then from that, through community activists, ACT UP, legislators who felt that there needed to be something done, doctors within CDCR who cared passionately about the HIV population and others, all came together and we were able to eventually get funding for this 17-bed inpatient hospice.

And then second, I was someone who was a Parrot Head for years and years and it was just amazing how the community came together. That was really the theme song of how the community came together.
