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 is a clinically focussed guide which aims to be an essential companion for health care professionals who manage patients with neuropathic pain.
MoreLong description:
Neuropathic Pain is increasingly recognized as a chonic disabling condition. It is frequently thought of as harder to treat than other pain types, and this often results in a poorer quality of life for patients. Approximately 30% of adults in the UK alone have some type of chronic pain and some estimates suggest that one in five of these will have symptoms of neuropathic pain.
This volume in the "Oxford Pain Management Library" is a clinically focused and practical guide that aims to be an essential companion for all healthcare professionals who manage patients with neuropathic pain. It summarizes up-to-date research literature in a style that will have direct clinical applications for busy healthcare professionals. Alongside chapters on traditional areas relevant to neuropathic pain management, the book also covers the epidemiology of neuropathic pain, the role of
verbal description in pain assessment, and the experiences of patients living with neuropathic pain drawn from focus-group research.
...a good short introduction to neuropathic pain. Given the pharmaceutical industry's ongoing love affair with neuropathic pain I am surprised that they have not considered distributing this small, cheap book to educate a medical profession disillusioned with post-it notes and laser pens; it would certainly benefit our patients.
