Recensioner i media

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.
