An excellent resource for IC physicians & clinical staff, 1998-10-29
Grannum Sant's "Interstitial Cystitis" is an excellent resource for clinicians and patients seeking academic/research oriented information on IC treatments, pathology, epidemiology and much more! Contents include discussions on the history of IC, current research, diagnostic options, a wide variety of treatments and general issues, such as quality of life.Of particular note is the insightful chapter "The Causes and Treatment of Pain in Interstitial Cystitis" written by Daniel Brookoff, MD, which has helped us convey the often underestimated need for pain management.
This book is a cornerstone to any IC library, including our own at the IC Network. Very well done and much appreciated by the patient community.
