4 out of 5 stars Good reference book for pain medicine

This a very good book for a quik reading of the cuurent knowledge of the main topics in pain medicine. Easy to read. Right to the points. I love it.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference for Pain Boards Review

My specialty is PM&R. I used this book to prepare for my ABPM Board Examination. I used it to complement a Pain Boards Review Course (designed mostly for anesthesiologists) that I took 6 months prior to the exam. I found myself being able to read about 75% of this book almost without noticing. It is concise, clear, and has most of the information required for the Pain Board exam I took. Great images and fairly comprehensive. I was able to review and understand topics covered in the Board Review course that were not very familiar to me. This is a good buy, for Board Exam reviews, and as a reference! I felt comfortable with the exam and I PASSED!

5 out of 5 stars Great Resource

I am a doctoral student completing my PhD in Health Psychology and this book was recommended by a friend who is an MD and pain specialist. It truly is everything you always wanted to know about pain but did not know enough to ask. I just completed my term in Biopsychology and it was an excellent resouse in addition to my required textbooks. I know I will use this book for many years to come as I complete my degee and beyond. I consider it an essential part of my professional library.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding

I am a pain medicine fellow. This book is very concise and very useful. Far better than Raj's review book. WIthout a doubt the best book out there at the moment for the pain boards.
