Editorial Review:
The Guides Casebook, Second Edition presents over fifty new and adapted case examples that demonstrate the appropriate use of the new fifth edition of the Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. The distinguishing feature of the second edition is that it draws on the knowledge-base of the fourth edition of the Guides, by demonstrating through example differences with the Guides Fifth Edition. Thirty new cases offer entirely new content unique to the Guides Fifth and provides the basis to understand new issues that examiners encounter. The clinician can evaluate these cases and compare their assessment to the expert, who discusses how they evaluated each case. Musckuloskeletal disorders are most common, and therefore, the majority of the cases deal with upper/lower extremity and spinal problems.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - A worthwhile read
as with the AMA guides itself, the quality of the cases presented varies widely from chapter to chapter.
The spine, pulmonary, digestive, urinary/reproductive, and ENT chapters provide excellent cases; the upper and Lower extremities chapters do not.
Nevertheless, this book is a quick read and will vastly improve your abilities as an impairment rater.
All in all, a worthwhile investment of your time and money.
