Living with Chronic Pain with Dr. Kent Robertshaw

December 27, 2006
Host: Armand DiMele Guests: Kent Robertshaw

Chronic pain sufferers are blamed, disbelieved, and undertreated, and that abandonment can be as damaging as the pain itself. Armand DiMele and Dr. Kent Robertshaw, MD, Psychiatrist, trace how physical pain acquires an emotional life, how opiates seductively treat both, and why escalating narcotic use often signals depression and loneliness as much as bodily suffering.
