" 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.
Dr. Feinberg is a physiatrist and pain medicine specialist practicing in Palo Alto and an Adjunct Clinical Professor who teaches at the Stanford University Pain Service.

Join us for a conversation with the "working man's shrink," Robert Larsen, MD (Dr. Bob) to explore his journey from molecular and cellular biologist to the occupational side of psychiatry and how he came to write his book Wounded Workers, about America's workforce subjected to physical and psychological trauma.
Dr. Kirstine Oh is an anatomic- and clinical pathology board-certified pathologist with a subspecialization in hematopathology. After completing residency, Dr. Oh practiced as a general anatomic and hematopathologist for 10 years before becoming the medical director of a lab in a roughly 550 bed hospital with a level II trauma center, OB-GYN center, oncology center and busy emergency department.
Providence Regional Medical Center Everett cared for the first COVID-19 patient in the United States, and Kirstine and the lab team were highly involved. After a brief lull following the patient’s discharge, the site became one of the first areas in the country to experience a surge in COVID-19 cases in March 2020. The 53 hospital system spanning Alaska, California, Montana, Oregon, Texas and Washington states has grappled with how to address the laboratory testing for SARS-CoV-2, both in the inpatient and outpatient setting.
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.
