I highly recommend this book to anyone who has chronic pain, anyone who lives with someone in chronic pain, or anyone else who needs to understand what chronic pain is and how different medications can affect you and your health, not to mention the horrific opioid crisis that so many people are losing their lives over, mainly because they don't understand or their doctor hasn't taken the time to explain to them the horrific outcome that these drugs can cause. As someone who has lived in chronic pain for the last almost 25 yrs, due to having Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome aka Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy and now L-2,3 & 4 back problems. I have been on opioid medications for the past 20 years and I can honestly say that I have never once tried to abuse them nor would I, because I know and understand how they work, and just because I live in chronic pain 24/7 daily, I don't want to lose my life to a drug that helps me when taking correctly. Dr. Purvez has definitely gone out of his way in this book to cover everything you'd want to know and understand about these diseases and why and how do many people die from opioids. He is very knowledgeable about all the different diseases that cause chronic pain and how to best treat his patients. He is a very compassionate doctor who truly cares about his patients, their well-being, health and safety. He takes his time, listens to and honestly tries to understand what his patients are dealing with and how to best treat them safely, without overprescribing unnecessary drugs if he thinks they're not going to help or if he thought you would abuse them in any way. I know this because of my first-hand experience with him. He has been my ongoing doctor since 2003 when he started treating me at my local pain management clinic. I don't say this just because he is my doctor, but because he truly is a one of a kind. In his book you can feel just how compassionate and caring, while going to great depths to explain the different ways of treatment and the horrific effects of opioids. This is a must read book by a real true and understanding doctor. Read it, you won't regret it but will come away with a whole different outlook on chronic pain, the different diseases or issues that cause it, different treatments and opioid addiction.
