Increasingly, physicians are leveraging their medical training and
expertise to pursue careers in non-traditional arenas. Their goals
are diverse: * Explore consulting as a way to improve patient care
* Lay the foundation for a career in academic medicine * Provide
leadership in healthcare * Strengthen ties between a clinic and the
community * Broaden one's experience as a medical student * As a
journalist or writer, open a window onto medicine for non-experts
Some physicians will pursue another degree, while others may not,
in anticipation of moving into public service, business, education,
law, or organized medicine. Their common ground is the desire to
enhance their professional fulfillment. Drs. Urman and Ehrenfeld's
book features individual chapters on the wide array of
non-traditional careers for physicians, each one written by an
outstanding leader in medicine who him- or herself has successfully
forged a unique career path. A final chapter brings together
fascinating brief profiles - "case studies" - of physicians who
have distinguished themselves professionally outside of traditional
settings. Suitable for readers at any point in their medical career
- practitioners, fellows, residents, and medical students - who
want to explore possibilities beyond traditional medical practice,
the book also sets out common-sense advice on topics such as
work-life balance, mentorship, and the relationship between
personality and job satisfaction.

Up to 35% of adults suffer from chronic pain, and a substantial
number of these patients are admitted to hospitals every year. A
major concern of these patients is whether the pain will be
adequately controlled during hospitalization. these patients are
more likely to have poor pain control and may experience an
exacerbation of their co-exisitng chronic pain condition during
hospital admission. Adequate pain control is directly related to
clinical outcomes, length of hospital stay, and patient
satisfaction. A considerable body of evidence demonstrates the
medical, social, and economic benefits of satisfactory inpatient
pain control. Currently, there are limited pain control guidelines
to address this challenging inpatient population. In fact, there
are no guidelines outlinign best practices for postoperative pain
control in patients with chronic pain. The complex nature of
chronic pain and a dearth of publications addressing the concerns
of these patients make the creation of relevant guidelines
difficult. The goal of this book is to equip clinicians to provide
safe and effective management of hospitalized patients with
co-existing chronic pain. Each chapter addresses a particular
clinical question and is written by an expert in the field.
Chapters describe basic principles and specific clinical situations
commonly encountered during the care of patients with co-existing
chronic pain in hospital settings.

Millions of procedures, surgical and non-surgical, are performed
around the world each year. Management of perioperative pain is of
great importance to patients, and a critical management issue for
physicians and other health professionals who provide perioperative
care. Healthcare facilities and national accrediting organizations
have established standards surrounding proper management of
perioperative pain. There is now an increased burden on every
hospital and training program to ensure that healthcare providers
understand the essentials of pain management and are able to
recognize and treat pain in a timely fashion. Poorly controlled
pain leads to patient dissatisfaction and contributes to increased
morbidity and mortality, such as myocardial infarction, pneumonia,
and emotional effects. Proper management, including appropriate
pharmacologic management and regional analgesic techniques, can
improve function and shorten length of hospital stay. Patients who
are undergoing procedures under sedation or anesthesia need to
receive adequate pain relief with drugs or regional anesthetic
techniques. In the recovery room following the procedure, the staff
taking care of the patient needs to be properly trained to diagnose
and treat post-procedural pain. Part of the Oxford American Pain
Library, this concise, evidence-based clinical guide serves as a
tool for every clinician who wishes to understand the basic
mechanisms, pharmacology, invasive and noninvasive treatment
modalities, guidelines and development of pain management
protocols. The authors address new technologies, chronic pain
issues, running an acute pain service, opioid and non-opioid
pharmacology (including newly approved drugs), epidural and other
regional anesthesia, and special populations such as pediatric
patients, the elderly, and patients with a co-existing disease.
