Pressezitat
"Pain management is made more complex in elderly patients due to a wide variety of comorbidities, such as impaired metabolism, sensitivity to medications side effects, communication impairment, and memory loss. This appears to be the only textbook that uniquely addresses the topic. I applaud the editors and authors for attempting to tackle this void. ... The text is generally well written and might be appropriate for practitioners from internal medicine, geriatrics, physiatry, and pain medicine." (M. Kwesi Kwofie, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 130 (5), May, 2020)
