Sjuka FaktaMyter om Smärta - Dr Karsten AhlbeckKan man med tillräcklig viljekraft tänka bort smärta? Eller är det alltid mer smärtlindring som är lösningen? Eller är det kanske vila?Smärta är en naturlig del av livet, och att inte kunna känna smärta är livsfarligt. Men vad händer när systemet hamnar i obalans? Vad gör man då?

This is the last episode for Season 2 - thank you for listening! It has been a great pleasure having you, and I am looking forward to next season starting in August. Today you will get a little teaser on what is there waiting for you.

Why are some people not getting better in their pain although healthcare is throwing them all different kind of medication?
And society itself, does it do enough in the fight against pain? Well, that was of course a rhethorical question, but what to do about it?
This and a lot more in today´s episode.

When medication is not the whole solution, or any solution at all, what can you do about your pain (or actually any other condition as well) ?
What is the true problem when not reaching the treatment goal?
We talk about what the psychologist can do. Is there a "golden" therapy like cognitive behavioural therapy, or ACT, or anything else? And how did it all start, actually?

Could be the patient. Or at least the doctor (or relatives) think something crazy is going on, because s/he is describing something which can not be understood.

The most important thing about this subject is to be able to reason if it is right or not. And not all people - including health care personel - do this reasoning. They already made up their minds. And if a patient "wanting" to take pills, and the health care "refusing" presciptions - how can they eventually understand each other?
Through information. And hopefully this episode will...2022-06-0519 minOutsmart the painOutsmart the pain - Pillshaming!We physicians give patients pills. And we hope for the best.

But then there is pill shaming.
