Customer Rating:
Summary: Guides to the evaluation of Permanent Impairment
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: better, but could still use improvement
Comment: 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.

Summary: Better than Ambiem and a shot
Comment: Absolutely the best bedtime reading to fall quickly asleep. Much more effective than 1-4th Editions. Richard S Glosser MD Orthopedic Surgeon.

Summary: AMA Guides
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Business purchase
Comment: I ordered these for independent adjusters who work for my firm, and they find them indispensable. Because I am not an adjuster, I am unable to evaluate them.
