Food for thought
“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, … any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee. “
John Donne Meditation XVII

Joint Commission
“Listed as the most feared symptom of illness and disease, the perception and description of pain is highly individualized. As healthcare clinicians, it is our job to reduce the pain to a functional level. Including the patient in the process through education about pain, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments helps the patient to understand that there is much that can be done to reduce, if not eliminate, pain.”

Hierarchy of Pain Assessment Techniques
(McCaffery and Pasero, 1999) A. Self Report B. Search for Potential Causes of Pain: A
change in behaviour requires careful evaluation of the possibility of additional sources of pain.
C. Observe Patient Behaviours: In the absence of self report, observation of patient behaviouris a valid approach to pain assessment. Not always accurate reflections of intensity and may indicate another source of distress
D. Surrogate Reporting
