Understanding Procedural Coding: A Worktext Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book came quickly, and was required for school. A newer edition will be avaliable in March. Some information was a little off because it was published in 2008. It doesn't come with the answers, the teachers have the answers. It came with a trial version of Encoder Pro which is very helpful, and can be reinstalled, but you need to be able to look things up quickly from the CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM books for certification.

Atlas of Primary Care Procedures Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would give this one 6 stars.It is so good I felt comfortable using it to perform procedures I had never done before.I practice OM so alot of joint injections and trigger finger, eyes, and derm.Arranged by system so easy to find what your looking for. One thing I haven't seen in other books is this one starts with a detailed explanation of the disease or injury itself.For example, I always thought a skin abscess was simply a "pus filled cavity", but it is actually finger like projections of loculated granulation tissue.Description of technique is very detailed and easy to follow, with diagrams.Includes list of supplies needed for each.Also has contraindications, and an index listing contents of differents surgery packs for different procedures if you want to assemble them yourself.It covers a wide range of procedures for ortho, HEENT, Gyn, urology, ID, etc.I strongly recommend this book as a reference for any physicians that do office procedures.My hat is office to Dr. Zuber (FP) and Dr. Mayeaux (Ob/Gyn from my alma mater LSU).On a seperate note, the best ortho book EVER for primary care docs is "Emergency Orthopedics-The Extremities", by Simon and Koenigsknecht. Outstanding job!

Essential Clinical Procedures (Dehn, Essential Clinical Procedures) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was required to buy this book during Physician Assistant/medical school.It is an excellent book for a medical student with no prior hospital experience.However, even though I had just been a tech and emergency medicine transcriber a year before school I had seen most of the procedures multiple times and only reviewed one or two sections.I recommend it for it being concise and illustrated but a nurse or tech in medical school may not need to glance over this book or a section once just to review important points before a skills exam.Amazon delivered promptly and in great condition; I love that it was free shipping!
