Reader Reviews
This review is from: A Physician's Guide to Pain and Symptom Management in Cancer Patients (Paperback)
For years, doctors have focused on curing the objective aspects of illness or disease, but have ignored -- or downplayed -- the subjective aspects, principally pain. Society's hypersensitivity to the misuse of drugs has only made the problem worse. Finally, one of the country's leading oncologists takes the problem seriously. This book, although designed for clinicians, should be read by every person who must confront pain either in themselves or a friend or relative. Written clearly and compellingly, this book now becomes the authoritative source on this important and overlooked subject. Put another way, any physician who is not familiar with this book simply is not being fair to his or her patients and is not staying current on a central part of current medicine.
