<p> A book for chronic pain sufferers written by two savvy pain specialists that lays out a clear path for taking control of one's own health issues in spite of misinformation from many providers of health care. Chronic pain is a common and expensive disaster that afflicts both patients and society at large. Physicians do not learn enough about pain in their education and training; this book tells patients how to work their way around and through the health care they may be offered for chronic pain. The authors emphasize the role of the patient herself or himself in solving the problems of chronic pain. Two pain experts provide the reader with a path for negotiating the best possible care for chronic pain. Truly a multidisciplinary approach to the resolution of chronic pain problems. Best book of its type that I have come across in over 40 years of pain management. -- John D. Loeser, M.D., Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Washington
