Good reference book for pain medicine This a very good book for a quik reading of the cuurent knowledge of the main topics in pain medicine. Easy to read. Right to the points. I love it.. "Excellent Reference for Pain Boards Review" according to Gabriel L. Bonilla. My specialty is PM&R. I used this book to prepare for my ABPM Board Examination. I used it to complement a Pain Boards Review Course (designed mostly for anesthesiologists) that I took 6 months prior to the exam. I found myself being able to read about 75% of this book almost without noticing. It is concise, clear, and has most of the information required for the Pain Board exam I took. Great images and fairly comprehensive. I was able to review and understand topics covered in the Board Review course that were not very familiar to me. This is a good buy, for Board Exam review. "Outstanding" according to Ligament. I am a pain medicine fellow. This book is very concise and very useful. Far better than Raj's review book. WIthout a doubt the best book out there at the moment for the pain boards.
