patients hospital care high in personal attention and low in technology Respirators are not used al though chemotherapy and sometimes radiotherapy are employed Medical procedures are cho sen with the aim of helping the patients to be as comfortable mobile and independent as pos sible key to treatment in the 12 bed unit is the control of pain and one of the main tools is the Brompton cocktail Developed in Britain more than 30 years ago it is an oral narcotic which taken every four hours usually aintains continuous control pain and does not seem to require ever larger doses it is tailored to the needs of each patient and is easy to ad minister both in hospital and at home providing the patient does not suffer from nausea LOSE FEAR OF PAIN Tests have shown that by di minishing the fear or ex pectation of pain it seems to decrease chronic pain Many patients have been able to go from stronger to weaker dose as their fear lessens With pain under control the units medical team tries to overcome other common prob lems such as constipation in continence nausea insomnia and coughing if this is achieved attention can be paid to the quality of the life that remains for these patients
