Analgesics: the physician's partner in effective pain management.

Effective management of pain depends on sufficient knowledge of the pharmacology of analgesics, careful assessment of each patient's pain, and a change of attitude toward the use of potent opioid (narcotic) analgesics. Utilizing extensive experience and the results of studies at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the author rebuts physician misconceptions, recommends strategies for 25 medication problems, and provides oral/parenteral equivalencies of the most common analgesics.

Our case was one of the late development (8 years) of a fistula in a patient who had only one previous replacement but in whom a murmur was detected 3 months after the operation.
