Reviews

This book is excellent. It completely achieves what it sets out to do. This is the knowledge base required by anaesthetists to navigate their way through pain medicine and would provide an 'aide memoire' for the pain medicine specialist ... this book would serve well both those in training and preparing for exams, and those wishing to revisit some basic tenets of pain medicine. Its schematic and practical layout will appeal strongly to anaesthetists. We thoroughly recommend it. -- European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2007
