Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This pocketbook provides an overview of the management of patients with long-term pain for primary care clinicians. Written in a distinct yet informal style, the book will cover the science underlying common pain syndromes and their modern management.
MoreLong description:
Designed for primary care clinicians, this book is about patients who suffer with long term pain. Written in a distinct, friendly style, it analyses ideas about pain from the simple to the complex and provides up-to-date and relevant information written by doctors whose practice is either wholly or substantially related to people with pain. It provides examples of everyday patients to provide clinicians with the confidence to prescribe and treat patients with more difficult pain. In an attempt to 'demystify' some areas of pain medicine it also includes details of the science behind common conditions and their remedies in order to emphasise the psychological and social impacts of pain.
This is an extremely useful book for primary care physicians and general surgeons. Although very concise, the book successfully conveys the all-important principles of treating chronic pain patients, namely, using a comprehensive approach, and good communication among members of the medical team managing a patient.
