I feel that I must let prospective buyers to know that my purchase through AMAZON far exceeded my expectations. Price was very fair, condition excellent (far better than described) and delivery. From the USA to New Zealand in eight days. Just fantastic.
This book is jam packed and jelly shut with powerful information for the sharp expert who simply needs to just fine tune his or her skills. This is also a must for every primary caregivers personal library.
Several chapters, such as the one on the spine, lower extremities, skin, and pulmonary system are, indeed, quite well-written and fairly easy to follow.The chapter on upper extremities, however, is simply in deplorable shape.Moreover, the AMA guides did not do a good job of explaining when it is appropriate to use a certain method and when it is not. in many cases, the evaluator is not sure which method to use, even after a careful reading of the guides. The overarching philosophy of the Guides is not explained as well as it should be.All in all, however, a vast improvement over the much more difficult to use fourth edition.needless to say, a physician using this book needs both an instructor and an appropriate patient population to refine his/her skills as a disability evaluator.
Absolutely the best bedtime reading to fall quickly asleep. Much more effective than 1-4th Editions. Richard S Glosser MD Orthopedic Surgeon.
It's the standard. Can't get around it. Examples are very good. Read through the examples for a thorough understanding and you'll be fine.
