You Are the Universe

Hello, I am Dr. Kevin Rod

I am fortunate to be a pain patient and a pain doctor at the same time. My life experience as a pain patient qualifies me to understand pain struggle more than my education. Here are some highlights of my practice and experience: I am a Family Physician with focused practice in Chronic Pain. I am the founder and director of Toronto Poly Clinic Multi-disciplinary pain management center. I am a Lecturer with the University of Toronto DFCM as a clinical teacher. I am also a guest course contributor to Harvard Medical School department of Continuing Education.

Human’s mind is trained by society to think of I as a different entity than you and the rest of our universe. We are thought to think and feel separate from others and this has led into feelings of loneliness and depression.
By the current understanding of physics all the matter and energy in universe have come from one source billions of years ago and they only change shapes over time.

Dying stars create solid matters that gather by gravity and make planets. Our planet earth is one of them. So the matter in our right hand might have come from a different star than the matter in our left hand, but we are all parts of the same continuity of matter and energy by different shapes and forms. The same way that an ocean wave is not separate from the ocean itself, we are not separate from the rest of our universe.
