If you are looking for a single compact volume on MS care, this book would be a good choice, and it can be read as a refresher, or used as a reference guide.
This is an excellent pocket guide to MS, whose value is enhanced by having a multidisciplinary authorship.
...it is packed with the answers to questions ... 'MS Care' is an excellent book and should be read by neurologists, rehab doctors, GPs, nurses, managers and people with MS.
