"The DIfficult Patient"

via NY Times

This article discusses the need for more emotional care from physicians for those with chronic conditions - and illustrates this with a scenario of an isolated patient who is in chronic pain. Makes for interesting reading and there are some issues here affecting those of us with disabilities who have experienced the medical phenomenon of being abandoned when care won't "fix" us and the social isolation that can occur.
