Handbook of Pain Management
Abstract
Medical practice from a patient’s perspective often revolves around the pain that he or she will experience through out and beyond the management period. A patient’s perception of how good or bad a doctor is, is often defined in terms of the amount of pain experienced after the treatment. In this book Melzack and Wall firstly define clinical pain states. This is followed by therapeutic options and lastly they comment on certain problem areas in pain assessment and management. This book is easy to read with a reasonable print size. The illustrations are clear and easy to understand. The frequent use of tables are relevant and most appreciated. The bibliography is reasonable and up to date.Downloads
