Great talk on #KidsCancerPain by @PerriTutelman! #Canadianpain18

[Kristen Higgins @KristenSHiggins]

@couragesings Thank you!!

[Kristen Higgins @KristenSHiggins]

This part of Laporte’s talk stood out to me as clinical psyc trainee- system failures can make pts question if they are the problem. Not the msg we want to be sending! Need to be aware of these implicit msgs and how to improve care https://t.co/0VPvxlUs9s

Thought once was injured would have access to care. Had to fight for access.

Overwhelmed had to be advocate in this system.

Questioned whether having pain was his fault.

“Living with chronic pain takes great strength.” YES.
