About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This review of the pharmacology and clinical uses of opioids provides an overview of pain anatomy and physiology and … how to treat different painful conditions with narcotics. … The book is intended for any physician who treats patients with acute or chronic pain, making it appropriate for pain specialists and primary care physicians. However, any surgeon or physician … would find this book helpful. … This is an excellent addition to the field of pain medicine, bridging the gap between pharmacology and practice." (Tariq M. Malik, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008)
