title: Relieving non-pain suffering at the end-of-life.
abstract: We discuss non-pain problems at end-of-life in this paper. Management of these problems is key to ensuring relief of suffering. Much of this paper is a reiteration of the material on common physical symptoms, which is presented in module 10 of the Education for Physicians on End-of-life Care (EPEC) project of the American Medical Association in conjunction with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
