Hi All,

I have a student rotating through and I'd like a Pain Medicine review book we could use to study together. Ideally, I'd like to go over a chapter every other day. I'd like it to be in outline format and concise. I'd like it to be practical and not too theoretical. One such book I used to like was Pain Medicine and Management: Just the Facts by Staats and Wallace, however this book is now almost 10 years old. I liked it because the chapters were in outline format, practical, concise, no BS.

Can anybody recommend a more up to date book instead of this one?

Pain Medicine and Management: Just the Facts, 2e

I would guess that most of the big concepts are still the same, especially at a student level even if 10 years old. I would just get that book and then add anything that you feel is important, especially if it has a format that you like.

I use the old Raj pain medicine review book. There were a few editions. This is for 4th year med students. Out of date but mostly ok

Agree with this. Big concepts for a med student resident are close enough for a 10 yr old book.
