DR OZ SHOW ON CHRONIC PAIN SEPTEMBER
27, 2011.
The Dr. Oz Show did a feature about chronic pain. He presented
a patient-oriented view discussing how chronic pain is real but
many patients aren’t taken seriously by their physicians
or have difficulty finding appropriate treatment. The show also
addressed many of the issues that impact pain treatment, like
physicians not having enough training in pain.
The full episode is available online and can be viewed at this
link - http://watch.ctv.ca/#clip539678.
