About
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 revolutionized our approach to pain management and was responsible for the formation of Pain Australia.
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 revolutionized pain management. The author, Gabriella Kelly-Davies, delivers a biography that captures the story of the career, the crusade, and the man.
