I was disappointed. The book is not organized in a proper way to look up topics efficiently. The book is presented by chapters that dump a lot of hardcore scientific facts on your head, without the proper explanation of why these facts are important, how they are related to clinical practice. Yes! Absolutely! The book is very distant from clinical practice. I am so sorry to acknowledge that, but there are much useful books for the same price available on the market.
Quite comprehensive. But I did not appreciate the bit on "empathy". Empathy is countertransference, so it is not helpful. Sympathy is better. (Interestingly, neuroimaging seems to show that there is a difference between the two.)
I was disappointed with this book. I was expecting a lot more from an expensive 1,600+ page comprehensive textbook. Really hard to find information when you try to look a topic up. You have to use the Index extensively to find what you need, which is cumbersome and annoying in a book this size. A lot of basic information is left out or buried in chapters where it doesn't actually belong and where you wouldn't think to look.
An exceptional text which weighs almost as much as a spare car tire. Very well written with exceptional references. As a patient you will typically know more than the doctor treating you.
If you are in a pain fellowship or an attending, and you were to only buy one book it should be this one
I love this book. It is exactly what I was looking for, being complete and detailed. It helps me understand and take care of patients better.
just what i expected it to be, exactly what i needed and quick processing and in great condition and a great value
Great! No problems, smooth transaction!
