Very Light In information by Scott Mw Haufe (florida)  2 Stars
September 08, 2009
Mainly just lists of information and a lot of the lists are so basic as to be devoid of useful information. Might provide a nice reference source but too much information is lacking to make it a good review source.

This books is...... by Lostplanet  1 Stars
February 10, 2009
This book is very deficient in many aspects of palliative Medicine. It might be good for a nursing or medical student, but if you are looking for a comprehensive book, that this is not the one for you. I was very disappointed. The writers have made the chapters too short to be any informative.
