    25. Fear. What are we scared of?

    25.  Fear.  What are we scared of?

    How many times have you heard a child say "I'm scared?".  Well, it's just a normal emotion to be scared.  Fear is something that all of us deal with every day.  It, unfortunately, can be used in a negative fashion or scare people into doing things that they don't want to.  Use it in a different way and positively use this to change your life.  Use fear and the changes that life brings to you to do something different.  

    Thank you for listening.

    19. Cancer Pain, Intrathecal Pumps, and a tribute to Lisa Stearns, MD.

    19.  Cancer Pain, Intrathecal Pumps, and a tribute to Lisa Stearns, MD.

    19.  Dr. Lisa Stearns was a compassionate mentor to all of us pain management physicians, and a compassionate physician to her patients.  She treated mostly cancer patients, who depended on her for pain management for their difficult to treat pain. She passed away this weekend in a tragic accident at her home in Mexico.  She had placed "more intrathecal pumps than anybody else" had (per Dr. Grigsby).  I was, incredibly, one of the privileged many that was able to visit her clinic in Arizona and learn from her.  Her incredible devotion to the field and incessant dedication to her patients will be missed.  I sure will miss asking her about pumps and listening to her lectures.  I pray for her family, and her near and dear ones.  Thank you, again Dr. Stearns for what you have given the world.  Without you, the world will be a bit harder to live in.
