"It has been thoroughly researched and provides a novel and up-to-date resource for physicians who are expanding their practice to include more intravenous therapies. . used as a rapid access field guide for pain physicians, anesthesiologists, neurologists, and intensivists alike. It would make a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any pain clinician and thoroughly succeeds in its aim to provide the reader with a practical guide to current thinking in parenteral pain therapies."
