Guest: Dr. Brenda Lau, Pain Specialist and Anesthesiologist
One in four people suffers from chronic pain.
That is according to Dr. Brenda Lau, who specializes in pain management. “Pain is not just a physical symptom”, she says, “once it starts affecting the body, the body behave differently, the mind thinks differently, you relate to people differently, it takes over everything.”
Dr. Lau is working with a small group of specialists to help deliver relief to chronic pain sufferers and to help other physicians help their patients. Pain BC is the network and website that have been created to help. You can find more information at: http://www.painbc.ca
Her clinic, "Change Pain" can be found here: http://www.changepain.ca
