Drawing on his years of experience and the inspirational stories of others, he explores:- What a difference it makes to be heard- Why pain is much more than a symptom of disease- The benefits and risks of opioid prescriptions- How cultural attitudes toward pain affect us- The role of a caregiver in the journey of pain and recovery- How, even in the worst pain situations, you can have a fulfilling lifeThe Painful Truth offers a path toward awareness, hope, and healing.
