      The relief of pain and suffering is one of the most important tasks a Physician can undertake.

   American Academy of Pain Medicine :

      "Milions of people suffer from chronic or intractable pain. Persistant pain varies in etiology and presentation, In some cases, symptoms and signs may be evident within a few weeks to a few months after occurrence of an injury or the onset of the disease. Inappropriately treated  pain seriously compromises patient's quality of life, causing emotional suffering and increased risk of lost livelihood and social intergration. Severe chronic pain often leads to mood disorders, including depression, and in rear cases, suicide."

      "Each physician bears the responsibility to evaluate and treat persistent pain as serious medical condition. Principal  treatment physician must approach each patient with respect and urgency and provide appropriate and timely referrals to a Pain Medicine specialist .."
