Chronic pain after surgery - meaning

Chronic pain after surgery. More than just a nuisance?

Chronic pain can complicate a third of even relatively minor surgical procedures with far-reaching consequences for patient and family. Why does it happen? What can be done to mitigate the problem?

A seminar in three movements held jointly with the Glasgow Southern Medical Society:
'Magnitude' Dr William Macrae, Dundee
'Molecules' Dr Mick Serpell, Glasgow
'Meaning' Dr David Craig, Glasgow

In this lecture we hear Dr David Craig discuss the meaning to patients of chronic pain. This is followed by audience discussion.
