Review :
"This clinical companion should form part of the library for all pain services and would be extremely useful in the recovery room for all grades of staff. This volume is crammed with easy to understand tables and figures that would be useful for teaching purposes" Felicia Cox, British Journal of Perioperative Nursing, June 2004
