Rezensionen

"This book integrates the features of using medical records along with taking an IME history and conducting the examination. Somewhat within the practical aspects of this nexus, the author shares many of his experiences among a spectrum of cases stretching from adolescents through adult workers and even to patients of advanced years. ... The author targets those who perform IMEs, from beginners to those more experienced. Expert witnesses also may find the book useful." (J. Thomas Pierce, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2018)
