Understanding Chronic Pain
A Doctor Talks To His Patients
Understanding Chronic Pain is a personal narrative, a record of my passage among victims of chronic pain and the discoveries that have come from those encounters. I write for physicians, nurses, therapists, and caregivers, but mostly, I write for you who suffer the disease.
Keith W. Hagan, M.D.
"Robert Louis Stevenson writes in Treasure Island, 'We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.' In his approach to chronic pain, Dr. Cochran brings honesty and understanding. His book invites readers to open doors which have long been shut, both to those who treat pain and those who suffer it."
