Review
Comprehensive, easy to use and easy to read... An appropriate reference
source for both the relative novice in headache management and the more
experienced practitioner. Migraine Action Association UK, March 2003
Questions Answered is a true breakthrough in health science publishing, for these are books that come with dual purpose -- meant for both the medical professional and the general reader alike. These books, written in an effortless question and answer format, educate by answering typical patient questions, reducing answers to the basics...
Includes an extremely useful section that lists the contact information of various associations for the benefit of the headache suffer and his physician. Would be a useful addition to all high school, university and public libraries illuminating a condition that afflicts both the young and old throughout the world. Also recommended for pharmacies that sell reference manuals on health and fitness subjects. Electric Review, October 2003
