Dr. Richard B. Patt, one of America's leading cancer pain experts,
teams up with science writer Susan Lang to produce a much-needed,
sensible handbook for patients and caregivers on all aspects of
cancer pain. The authors illuminate the reasons why patients are so
often undermedicated, including unfounded fears of addiction,
patients thinking they need to tough it out, time-consuming
paperwork for doctors who prescribe narcotics, and laws that fail
to distinguish between drug abuse and the legitimate employment of
narcotics. Lang and Patt demonstrate that properly medicated
patients are better able to resume active lives and marshal
strength to fight their disease - while those in chronic pain not
only suffer, but also may jeopardise their potential for recovery.
A Complete Guide to Relieving Cancer Pain and Suffering enables
cancer patients to make informed decisions about their care and
gives numerous, concrete suggestions on how patients and their
families can work most efficiently and effectively with doctors.
This volume will be of enormous value to the growing numbers of
patients, family members, and health-care professionals who are
determined to relieve needless cancer pain.
