Editorial Review:
Finally a guide book to help primary care physicians and care providers navigate return-to-work issues. This needed reference is written from the healthcare provider's point of view combining the science with the art of medicine. A Physician's Guide to Return to Work teaches physicians and health care providers how to think through the issues of "risk", "capacity" and "tolerance" when negotiating return-to-work and stay-at-work issues with patients. Highlights of this resource include: A concise compilation of current data The most common questions faced by physicians, insurers, attorneys, employers and workers' compensation managers and answered based on the most current science available Written by practicing physicians and legal experts who regularly face return-to-work issues Delves into the practical aspects of evidence-based medicine, causation analysis, functional capacity evaluations and the legal aspects of return-to-work decision making Ways primary care physicians can help patients negotiate return-to-work decisions Discusses the implications of medication, driving and work The health consequences of unemployment Step-by-step information about specific body systems Specific examples and case studies Tables and charts from the most current edition of The Medical Disability Advisor

Average Rating: 
Rating: - A Fantastic Introduction
This book is better than "Occupational Medicine Practice Guidelines, Evaluation and Managemtn of Common Health Problems and Funcitonal Recovery of Workers" published by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. They cover simelar topics. The AMA book is shorter, more specific and has sharpter definitions. The ACOEM book frequently is more a commentary than a summary of the material they reviewed.
Here is a summary, from a mental health perspective.

Rating: - A most read for Heath Care Professionals who treat work related injuries
This book is written by physicians for physicians to give some guidance about work restrictions/limitations and uses common sense, art as well as the science in work-related injuires and illnesses. At the same the authors helps to translate and make sense our of the legal definitions of the work comp world of lawyers, case managers, and employers. I wish I had read a book like this in medical school or residency. Easy to read and understand.
