Description
The management of patients with spinal conditions involves a team-based approach, with professionals and trainees contributing through their respective roles. As such, medical trainees need resources that enable them to quickly and adeptly learn spine “basics,” such as performing spinal examinations. This handbook is a concise, compact guide on key principles of spine surgical knowledge — from the atlanto-occipital joint to the coccyx. It provides both professionals and medical trainees with user-friendly, insightful text gleaned from the hands-on insights of seasoned spinal surgeons.
Reviews
Review Drs. Yellowlees and Shore, two of the leading experts in
telepsychiatry in the world, have written the definitive telepsychiatry
clinical guide for mental health clinicians. They conscientiously organized
the book by working closely with 30 other experts in telepsychiatry and
even served as co-authors of seven of 10 chapters. This book is the
ultimate guide for the field of telepsychiatry and we should all read it
since in the near future telepsychiatry will be the predominant treatment
modality. –Robert E. Hales, M.D., MBA, Distinguished Professor of Clinical
Psychiatry, Joe P. Tupin Endowed Chair, Department of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis School of Medicine
