The Other Side of the Desk: A Story of a Chronic Pain Specialist Who Became a Chronic Pain Patient and His Advice for Chronic Pain Sufferers

This book was written by a world-renowned chronic pain specialist and invites the reader into his journey through the medical system with his family and friends and through his emotional and spiritual health once he experienced chronic pain himself. After a fall on ice, his pain spread, and he was diagnosed with many different disorders, operated on, and invited into many different intervention practices. Having had this unfortunate and debilitating experience, the author, Dr. Stuart Donaldson, learned about the best practices and alternative treatments, and he has developed a treatment plan for his chronic pain patients in Calgary, Canada that is based upon his unique and intimate experiences with pain. This book is written for chronic pain sufferers who want to approach their recovery more compassionately, personally, and holistically.
