Expressive writing reduces caregiver stress
Today, more than one in five Americans are caregivers, providing care to an adult or child with special needs at some time in the past 12 months. Given this sobering statistic, I’m surprised we do not see as many health narratives written by caregivers as, say, doctors and patients, at least not in print. Caregiving Read more… Expressive writing reduces caregiver stress originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Debating the role of psychiatric assessments in medical decisions
I recently had an incident involving a long-time patient. This particular encounter proved to be challenging. The patient had chronic pain for years and had already exhausted all conventional treatment options. Ironically, he was otherwise healthy and fit. His recalcitrant condition made him a prime candidate to be treated with a spinal sord stimulator (SCS).
