Pain on Trial

Dr. Holden was living the American Dream. Loved by his friends and family, esteemed by his patients, admired by the local community, he was also highly respected by his colleagues and favorably profiled by the press. Little did he know that his enchanted life would soon spectacularly crash and his well-being and his freedom would be endangered. Pain on Trial is based on a true story. The dramatic narrative of this book, including the courtroom drama, is based on authentic transcripts of two federal trials, and it describes the complicated world of people who live in pain, the medical role of opioids, and the issues related to drug dependence, drug abuse, and drug addiction. It also describes a relentless war that the government has conducted against patients and medical professionals, a war that many readers may not know about. Its unforeseen twists and turns will keep readers enthralled until they reach the surprising ending.
