Death, Dying and Bereavement
Fear marks the boundary between the known and the unknown. Some Chinese people believe that talking about death will increase the likelihood of occurrence. Also, by talking about death, evil spirits will be attracted to haunt people. In facing death, individual response is inevitably moulded by the values, attitudes, and beliefs of one's culture.

As Hong Kong is a place where East meets West, most professionals working in the field of death, dying and bereavement adapt knowledge from the West to their practice with the Chine...

A Guide to Pain Medicine
Pain is the most common symptom when sickness occurs. The treatment of any illness is directed towards both the cure of underlying pathology and the decrease of suffering. Every health care provider should be familiar with pain medicine. In the last decade, an overwhelming amount has been added to our knowledge of pain and its management.

The book is designed for clear presentation of the pertinent facts and recent advances on pain medicine. As such, it also serves as a primer for more comprehensive study. The reader is encouraged to bring the book to the clinic and ward for reading and reference. In this way a firm foundation for pain medicine could be acquired.
