abstract: IT IS sad that a book like this needs to be written at all, but the world is fraught with danger even when care is delivered compassionately. the patients we deal with are often frustrated by the long-term implications of their conditions, and the next healthcare professional who offers help may become the next target for their overflowing emotions.
