I'm not planning on putting every medical book I pick up, but this is a good read on its own. The subtitle must have been written by marketing people, because it doesn't really convey the focus of the book. This is a series of interviews with patients, practitioners and "thinkers" about chronic pain. The last section is the weakest, as some of the thinkers aren't easily separated from practitioners while others just don't seem to belong (Marilyn vos Savant??!). For people who have any interest at all in the subject, it is interesting to hear the various voices describe first hand their experience with long-term pain. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
It's all in your head. "Learn to bear it." "That drug will make you a junkie."For the more than 75 million Americans affected by chronic pain, these are fighting words.Despite extraordinary medical progress in recent years, millions of people, debilitated by the pain of incurable cancer, crippling arthritis, unremitting headaches, and a host of degenerative disorders, continue to suffer needlessly. Here, in their own words, are the stories of more than forty people whose lives are dictated by pain-patients, healthcare professionals, ethicists, social commentators, and scientists-shining a powerful searchlight on America's most misunderstood health problem.The Truth About Chronic Pain reveals why pain is so often ignored or under-treated. Among the reasons are the widespread belief that pain is a sign of weakness and the unfounded fears that properly administered painkillers will cause addiction. As bureaucrats, doctors, and pharmacists become adversaries in the War on Drugs, people in pain are often denied the relief they need.The voices on these pages are an eloquent testament to individual courage and a powerful plea to medical institutions, political leaders, and insurance companies to implement effective solutions to the problem of pain.
