There was a time in Ontario when chronic pain patients who didn’t respond to physiotherapy or surgery were often given only basic advice to exercise or referred to a psychologist or psychiatrist to ensure they weren’t suffering from depression. But then, Dr. Peter Rothbart changed everything by founding the first community-based chronic pain clinic in the province.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Howard Jacobs, who, alongside Dr. Rothbart, played a pivotal role in creating the field of chronic pain management in Ontario. Together, they revolutionized the way chronic pain is treated, paving the way for modern pain management practices.

Ever wonder what it takes to create an entirely new medical field? Join Dr Karmy to find out.
