摘要
The treatment of an adult patient with sickle cell disease whose clinical course is characterized by frequent painful crises creates a number of logistic problems in a tertiary care city hospital. Because such patients usually have no objective signs of painful crises, they are often considered to be malingerers and drug abusers. This paper reviews this controversial issue and presents one attempt at its resolution. Copyright © 1990 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company
