CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Pleading mom

As the mom of a child who has a serious chronic condition, these COVID times have wreacked havoc on our family. My child has has 4 acute bouts of her condition and the latest was one week ago. We had no way of reaching her specialist since his clinic was closed and her condition was worsening by the day. The feeling of helplessness, not being able to reach support to discuss treatments and options is unacceptable. Not all of life ends with a pandemic. What about her suffering? What about her life??

Thank you for your interest in this consultation with the Canadian Pain Task Force towards an improved approach to better understand, prevent, and manage pain in Canada. 

The online consultation is now closed, and written submissions are no longer being accepted. 

Feedback provided from the consultation will inform a report identifying best and leading practices, potential areas for improvement, and elements of an improved approach to pain management in fall 2020.
