• Effective and appropriate care techniques
  
• Step-by-step instructions for procedures
  
• Illustrations, case studies, and useful guidelines as appropriate in each chapter

• New chapters include: ethnic medicine, drug therapy, and nonmedical (legal, medicolegal, and ethical) issues.

I used this book as a reference when I was treating patients at my clinic at a college. If you have a urgent care practice this is a good book for your reference library.
