Produktbeschreibung

AWARD WINNING BIOGRAPHY OF AUSTRALIAN DOCTOR, DR MICHAEL J. COUSINS, WHO CAMPAIGNED WORLD-WIDE FOR 50 YEARS FOR BETTER OUTCOMES FOR THOSE WITH CHRONIC PAIN. A pioneer who changed lives and revolutionised our approach to pain management and was responsible for the formation of Painaustralia. Synopsis: In 1964 a junior doctor saw two critically burned boys limp into a Sydney hospital begging for help. He saved their lives but struggled to reduce their suffering because few pain treatments existed. That doctor dedicated his life to reducing suffering by improving the treatment of pain. In a career that spanned 50 years, Dr Michael Cousins led the pain world, and crusaded tirelessly for access to pain management to be viewed as a universal human right. He and his colleagues advanced treatments such as epidural analgesia and spinal cord stimulation that revolutionised pain management. The author, Gabriella Kelly-Davies, delivers a biography that captures the story of the career, the crusade, and the man.
