How is it that when 1 in 3 school age children reports chronic or recurrent pain, yet we fail to ensure that there is adequate help available for these children? That our system ensure at least basic level of pain medicine training for healthcare professionals?
These are a few of the questions we discuss in this episode, but more importantly we talk about how we CAN make a difference from wherever we are today, rather than waiting for someone else to invoke change and for something else to happen first. This episode is about increasing awareness, believing and investing in yourself. This is about taking charge and making the change rather than waiting for change to happen!
Believing and investing in yourself is the best way to shift your thinking from a paradigm of excuses to one of solutions.
It's time to shift the paradigm in pediatric pain medicine and it all starts with awareness, knowledge and priority!
Join me in this episode as Dr. Asha Padmanabhan, MD FASA sits me down in the guest seat in this episode of my own podcast, and I share the state of pediatric pain medicine. We discuss the challenges, barriers and way forward to evoke change. It's not just a theoretical concept, but how I have lived and by example to evolve with and be the change.
