Pain Management
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2001-01-24/pain-management
New rules require most American hospitals to measure and record pain as a vital sign. The regulation is designed to address the longstanding criticism that doctors and other health care providers under-treat their patients' pain. A panel talks about the latest finding on pain management and its role in the treatment of short- and long-term illness.
