Reviews / Votes
"Clinicians who care for patients with chronic pain on a regular basis in their practice are the intended audience. . It helps to make sense of the chaotic world of opioid therapy for chronic conditions. I cannot think of any other book that comes close to doing justice to this important topic. This is a must read for all pain physicians at all levels of training and experience." (Tariq M. Malik, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2016)
