Aziena Ospedaliera Universitaria Arcispedale S.Anna Ferrara The common aim, in a network....to work together and not to feel alone t.matarazzo@ospfe.it chiara.borghi@student.unife.it Thanks to : Direzione Strategica Aziendale, Ermes Carlini, COTSD, Beppe Gilli, Roberto Gaiani, Franco Guerzoni, Paola Caponcelli, Annamaria Ferraresi, Brunella Verri, Stefano Bianchi, Rossella Carletti, Referenti Attività Professional, Referenti Medici,..and to all those who believe that the acceptance of pain is ironic, because pain is nonhuman, suffering is touchable, and to hope is more difficult than beleave.
