 AQ> Hi diana 
 Ddh> I do enjoy reading your
 AQ> I agree
    The company promoting the machines have given me a stack of
literature which I haven't had time to look through yet.  I will make
copies and distribute them to: chief of ortho surgery, ortho surgeons,
head nurse, nurse clinician, physiotherapy, and my own boss, Director of
Pharmacy.
    The company is willing to loan the hospital 6 machines.  I would
like to see 4 of them used on ortho patients and 2 on persistent pain
patients.
    BTW, according to psychiatrists, chronic pain is no longer a
universal term for long-term pain.  There are now chronic pain and
persistent pain.
    Chronic pain has a psychiatric component, occurs always in the sites
of previous trauma/disease sites, may get better or worse, or even
disappear at times. The pain level will reach 0 pain at various times.
    Persistent pain does not have a psychiatric component, is there ALL
the time.  The pain level NEVER reach 0 pain at any time without
analgesics.
    Just a new tidbit in medical lingo.
    
    Take care!
