Summary: best cme $ investment
Review: this book is essential for any primary care provider.
I used it straight out of residency to guide me thru performing procedures in practice that I'd never or seldom done before.
The text and diagrams are so clear, and with very practical information, that doing these procedures was easy and complication-free.
It''s also great bc it gives useful stuff like sample consent forms, sample hx forms, and a concise listing of contraindications and potential complications, not to mention specific billing / coding information.
this new edition is more comprehensive than ever, and covers just about any minor (or major) procedure you would ever consider performing as a family medicine physician.
I refer to it on a regular basis in my clinic, and highly recommend it.
