Matt Hutchinson: Medicine, Comedy and Drug Policy

On today's Stop and Search we're joined by Matt Hutchinson. He's a doctor specialising in Rheumatology and General Medicine, and also a comedian - what a combo! We have a very open and wide-ranging conversation about drug policy, medicine, addiction, the prescribing of pain medication, comedy, and so much more. We really do cover some bases in this chat. Matt is also performing at the Edinburgh Festival, so if you would like to see him in action then go to <a href="https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/matt-hutchinson-hostile" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Assembly George Square Studios on the dates of Aug 2-14, and 16-27 - see his new show Hostile.</a> We're going to be coming back to Matt as he has so much more to say - so thank you to him for such a wonderful chat!

We're on the front-lines of the War on Drugs!Stop and Search aims to deconstruct our laws; we take a look at many overlapping issues and we ask 'what's really going on in society'? With a mix of live panel discussions, celebrity guests, policy experts, rolling news content, and general inquisitiveness, we'll try to get to the bottom of our relationship with drugs.Stop and Search is in association with LEAP UK and proudly part of Scroobius Pip's Distraction Pieces Network.
