"As a practicing Retina Surgeon/Ophthalmologist who trained at, taught at, and has access to some of the best medical institutions in the world, it was only my personal interface, as a patient, with John E. Sarno, MD that led me out of my own inexplicable 'Health-Scare' labyrinth. In Breaking Out of Pain, a beautiful compendium of essays on the pioneering work of Dr. Sarno, several leaders in the field of mind-body science remind us that a leading diagnostic question for all patients needs to be, 'How are YOU doing and feeling in this thing called LIFE?'" - Michael J. Cooney, MD MBA, Managing Partner, Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of New York, Clinical Assistant Professor, New York University Grossman School of Medicine
