Description

Arthur Rosenfeld (au). Despite extraordinary med. progress in recent years, victims of conditions ranging from headaches to injuries, incurable cancer, crippling arthritis, & a host of degenerative disorders continue to suffer needlessly. Here are the factors that deny pain patients the relief they need. Insur. co. limits, misconceptions about stoicism, & fears of painkiller addiction have caught people in pain in the crossfire. These 36 authorities on pain -- patients, healthcare prof’s., ethicists, social commentators, & scientists -- shine a powerful searchlight on the hows & whys of chronic pain. They offer answers, inspiration, & a powerful plea to med. inst’s., pol. leaders, & insur. co’s. to implement effective solutions to face & overcome America’s most misunderstood health problem.
