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.

MoreLong description:
Dr. Hallenbeck has written a guide for clinicians who want an introduction to palliative care that addresses "big picture" issues as well as provides specific, practical advice. Topics addressed range from an overview of death and dying in the modern world to discussions of pain and symptom management, communication techniques and palliative care consults.
This is not a palliative care treatment manual, but a discussion of palliative care that is both insightful and clinically practical. It will be particularly useful as an introduction for doctors and nurses coming to the field of palliative care, but will also be valuable to more experienced practitioners to ponder and to use in their teaching.
