Good chat. The opioid receptor reset thing and its relationship to the placebo mechanism was super interesting.

Love this episode. My mother is a retired anesthesiologist, and she used to say the same thing whenever people would say that she's the one who knocks them out. In addition to saying that she wakes them up though, she would also say that she keeps them alive while they are under.
