" Taking the time to listen and be empathetic while encouraging function and activity, and educating our patients, is the best tool for successful outcomes." Steven Feinberg, MD
Chronic pain is a common reason for adults to seek medical care, greater than cancer, diabetes, and heart disease combined. An estimated 40% of the working population in the United States seeks treatment for chronic pain, which is associated with restrictions in mobility and daily activities including work, dependence on opioids, anxiety, and depression, and poor perceived health or reduced quality of life.
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Steven Feinberg to discuss the ACPA Resource Guide to Chronic Pain Management.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
