From the reviews: "This concise book provides clear, evidence-based treatment guidelines for common painful conditions in a practical format. ... Physicians and nurses who care for patients in pain, either in the hospital or clinic setting, are the intended audience. The book also would be helpful for medical students and residents working in a pain rotation as part of their training. ... Of the pain books that claim to be handy, none is as handy, simple, and useful as this one." (Tariq M. Malik, Doody's Review Service, February, 2009)
