Rating Impairment? This can help!,
By Maureen (Salem, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Master the AMA Guides 5th: A Medical and Legal Transition to the Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th (Paperback)
Because the Guides have changed so dramatically, this book is a "must have" for those who need a primer on impairment ratings. The book is filled with helpful information that illustrates the difference between the AMA Guides: 4th edition and the AMA Guides: 5th edition. Professionals who must rate impairments or understand ratings should purchase this book; they will find themselves reaching for it again and again. As an attorney, I find it invaluable.
