Initial Perspectives For Professionals – M.D.

I thank you for opening this page.

We also are victims of the schism over a century ago that became a Pain Pandemic. I was nonplussed when I began to learn about it in medical school that such a Fundamental Flaw could have happened and so deeply insinuated itself that it became invisible. Then over the years I encountered far more resistance than acceptance from doctors to the unavoidable truth that our training for generations denied us one of the most valuable tools that we require to diagnose and efficiently provide pain relief and restoration of function for many of the common conditions we see.

This website is my contribution of what is becoming fifty years of effort to correct that history. Again, I thank you for coming. I hope you will stay here for awhile, and reflect, and become part of the solution.

If you are an orthopedic surgeon, the condition of medicine today with relation to non surgical orthopedics is a special burden that requires your courage. The impulse and imperative for change has been amplified especially during the past decade when condemning evidence has entered the literature concerning the relative value of such procedures as knee arthroscopy in the attempt to relieve degenerative conditions and back surgery. The lesson needs to eventually settle in that a surgical enthusiast must not be easily translatable to surgical enthusiasm.

Please read the opening chapters of Release From Pain and peruse the Reviews. I hope you will realize the importance of my book and that you will then read it thoroughly. I think you will enjoy When Something Is Lost, the first short story I am introducing STORIES with. There is much for you here. I will continue writing to it, and presenting, for it to be valuable to this task.

Be well.
