Recenzii

“Pain management is made more complex in elderly patients due to a wide variety of comorbidities, such as impaired metabolism, sensitivity to medications side effects, communication impairment, and memory loss. This appears to be the only textbook that uniquely addresses the topic. I applaud the editors and authors for attempting to tackle this void. … The text is generally well written and might be appropriate for practitioners from internal medicine, geriatrics, physiatry, and pain medicine.” (M. Kwesi Kwofie, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 130 (5), May, 2020)
