Dr. Carie Manke: Turning Trauma into Healing and Hope
So if I were to give advice to the medical community, it would be that to take the time to actually learn about the patient, learn about their life, learn about what's their past like, and a lot of times maybe you can even identify areas that are stress, that are causing pain or making the pain worse.
