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:
Led by the world-renowned Eduardo Bruera, the handbook is a source of information on the day-to-day management of patients requiring palliative and hospice care.
MoreLong description:
This handbook provides an easily navigable source of information about the day-to-day management of patients requiring palliative and hospice care. Succinct, evidence-based, topically focused content is supplemented by extensive tables and algorithms. The table of contents and balance of coverage follows the core curriculum of the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, thus meeting the educational and clinical information needs of students, residents,
fellows, and nurse practitioners. An expert team of clinicians, led by world renowned Eduardo Bruera, address approach to care; psychosocial and spiritual issues; impending death; grief and bereavement; assessment and management of pain; management of non-pain symptoms such as nausea, dyspnea,
depression, insomnia, and bleeding; communication and team work; and ethical and legal decision making.
I feel that the overall approach allows diverse topics to be presented in different ways that will engage a variety of readers with dissimilar needs, such as the luxury of time to reflect or the more immediate need for urgent clinical data delivered quickly.
