Pain on Trial (ebook)

Dr. Holden was living the American Dream. He was highly respected by his colleagues and patients, esteemed by the local community. Little did he know that his enchanted life would be soon spectacularly crushed, his reputation and his health ruined, and his freedom endangered.

A dramatic narrative with intense courtroom drama, PAIN ON TRIAL is based on a true story. In the book you’ll learn the truth about the under-treatment of pain, and the real role of the medically indicated opioids in the current drug overdose crisis. You’ll find the facts rarely discussed in the news about the role of opioids in treating pain and the issues related to drug dependence, drug abuse, and drug addiction.

The book also depicts the misguided government policies and actions that imperil lives of thousands of pain patients and medical professionals who treat them. You will be stunned to learn how the usage of opioid analgesics and dependence on them are often misunderstood, misrepresented, and vilified.

The unforeseen twists and turns of this true story that happened in Boston, MA, including two federal trials, won’t let you put the book down until you reach the astonishing ending.
