I received this book as a gift from a sales representative of Novartis in Dominican Republic. The ideas are ok. Patients descriptions about their perceptions of pain are very touching, and images are incredibly good.
The book ha a collection of images that explores the interface between doctor and patient, science and art.

Recibi este libro como un regalo de los visitadores de Novartis en Rep. Dom. Las ideas en el libro estan bien formuladas. Las descripciones tomadas de las experiencoas de los pacientes con dolor tocan nuestro corazon por lo intensas que son, y las imagenes son muy buenas. El libro tiene una coleccion de fotos que exploran la coneccion del paciente y el medico, la medicina y el arte.
