Caring for Patients in Pain Series

Watch my blog for a series of educational posts designed to assist healthcare providers working with patients in pain as well as assist people in pain on their own personal journey. Periodically I will pick a topic and write a short post about it. I might or might not share a personal experience but I will certainly try to include at least one scenario-- when appropriate-- that highlights the topic in some way to assist in the practical application of the information. I am not going to make these posts into research wonders but rather touch on humanistic experiences when I can and couple them with knowledge and insights I have learned throughout my professional practice and personal experiences over the years. It is my hope practitioner folks reading them will consider them important enough to ponder in their own practice and self-reflection and it is my hope that folks who can identify with some of the topics/issues will feel free to share their views and experiences on either the Migraine or Pain Management Message Boards here on WebMD.
