This review is from: Manual of Clinical Problems in Adult Ambulatory Care, with Annotated Key References (Spiral-bound)

I found this book on the shelf among many. It was 15 years old, and a little tattered, but it seemed to isolate just the right information for practical approaches to diagnosis and treatment. As an occupational health nurse, I see it ALL first hand, and a straightforward reference tool is invaluable. The section on "Bee" stings had exactly what I was looking for, differentiating the honeybee and vespid venoms. It's also visually easy to read. Check it out, all you primary care providers!
