Pain management realities

Join L. Joseph Parker, a research physician, as we delve into the biases and challenges faced by health care professionals in diagnosing and treating chronic pain, particularly in marginalized communities. Joseph sheds light on the evolving landscape of pain medicine, addressing topics such as medical pareidolia, gender disparities in pain care, and the impact of trauma on pain experiences. Through insightful anecdotes and expert analysis, we explore the urgent need for a more holistic approach to pain management, one that prioritizes patient-centered care and acknowledges the real physiological basis of pain.

L. Joseph Parker is a research physician.

He discusses the KevinMD article, "Real pain deserves real treatment."
