A great office reference book.., Jun 19 2003
As an internist starting out, I found this book invaluable to my patient practice. It is well organized and concise. It gives detailed and well illustrated instructions on the various procedures. It is divided into :
**Dermatology procedures (suture selection, bx, skin lesions, nail, abscess, acne, keloids, cryo etc)
**Anesthesia (local, topical, peripheral nerve blocks, trigger points)
**ENT
**Cardiovascular/REspiratory (art line, central line, Swan Ganz, intubation, pacing, PFT etc.)
**Urology (catherization
**Gyn
**OB
**pediatrics
**GI
**ortho (splinting, cast, dislocations, joint injections)
**Misc (abx prophylaxis, informed concent, LP etc)
Each procedure section is further broken down into clinical indications, contrditions, equipment needed, procedure process, tecnique, complication and CPT/billing code. It is a comprehensive book that contains more than you need to know--which is always good. Well worth the expense.

Concise explinations, drawing, addresses, and billing codes!, Feb 27 1997
By A Customer
This is a great book to boost your office procedure skills
and cut down on referrals for minor procedures. I found the
book helpful with short and concise explinations, diagrams,
and addresses of manufactures of products medtioned. The
billing codes are also helpful when training billing staff.
Very comprehensive and well worth the cost!
