In this unique title, international experts focus on unexpected pain as a consequence of indicated medical or surgical treatment. Pain from Unrelated Treatment, an IASP publication, explores the wide variety of pain mechanisms that can be disturbed and possibly treated – discussions that can lead to further explanation of these mechanisms, as well as improved care for patients experiencing what can be severely incapacitating outcomes.
Surgical topics range from pain from a simple surgical incision to the insertion of foreign mesh and the excision of endometriosis deep in the pelvic musculature. Medical topics include the surprising event of pain from the treatment of HIV and elevated cholesterol. Other discussions cover management of pain in iatrogenic nerve injury, post-dural puncture headache, pain from gastrointestinal surgery, and statin medications. Enhance Your eBook Reading Experience
An Honors Graduate of the NYU Film Program, I sold my first screenplay at 24 and have been a professional screenwriter ever since. The film I wrote most people are familiar with is "Romeo Must Die" -- the hip-hop/kung-fu actioner starring Aaliyah and Jet Li.
During my career I've written many films and tv pilots for major studios Warner Bros., Universal, Fox, Sony and Dreamworks, and have been fortunate enough to work with some of the best producers and directors in Hollywood. These include -- Jeffrey Katzenberg, Neil Moritz, Joel Silver, Terence Chang and John Woo, Mike Medavoy, James Foley, Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman and Warren Littlefield.
Among other projects, I wrote "Hard-Boiled II" for John Woo, scripted the animated family film "Outlaws" for Dreamworks, and most recently co-wrote "The Man With The Iron Fists II" for NBC/Universal which will be released first quarter 2015.
A member of the Writers' Guild of America since 1991, I currently serve on the WGA Screen Credits Committee. I am repped by WME and managed by Ensemble Entertainment.
