Father’s Day Gift Idea

Written by award-winning Kirribilli biographer Gabriella Kelly-Davies, Breaking Through the Pain Barrier is a gripping adventure of the human spirit. It will take your dad on a rollercoaster journey through Michael Cousins’ life, sharing his struggles, triumphs and innovations as he shaped the world of pain medicine as we know it today.

If there’s one thing we know about our dads, it’s that they’re not afraid of a challenge. And Michael Cousins faced plenty of them as he battled with belligerent bureaucrats and financial constraints to build the highly acclaimed pain centre at Royal North Shore Hospital. What’s more, in 2010, his decades-long crusade to have access to pain management accepted as a universal human right succeeded, increasing the priority given to pain management within health systems internationally.

Breaking through the Pain Barrier shows how Michael Cousins’ compassion fuelled his resolve to ease pain and suffering. His biography is a testament to the power of determination and the ripple effect one dedicated individual can have to improve the lives of millions of people.
