Host Frank Speidel's Introduction: "On 13 January 2022, while listening to WHYY Morning Edition, I heard a report by NPR addiction correspondent Brian Mann. Mr. Mann related that Dr. John Kelly of Harvard and Mass General Hospital had published a peer reviewed "national study" that 75 % of those suffering with addiction went on to "get better." Now this report by Mann on Morning Edition contradicted both my anecdotal experience and my professional readings."
