Patt and Susan S. LangRev. and expanded ed.Oxford ;New York Oxford University Press20041 online resource (xviii, 446 p.) Previously published in 1994 under the title: You don't have to suffer; Lang listed as the first author on t.p.0-19-513502-4 0-19-513501-6 Includes bibliographical references (p. 421-429) and index.This is a comprehensive manual containing all the necessary information for making the best of living with a devastating disease and its miserable symptoms and side effects.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.Cancer painElectronic books.Cancer pain.616.99/406Patt Richard B907651Lang Susan S907650Lang Susan S907650MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451369703321The complete guide to relieving cancer pain and suffering2458991UNINA
