Injuries Books

There is no better book on the market on the subject of self-injury.

This work provides a well-rounded culmination of explanation, conceptualization, supportive research, and applicable tips for the frontline responder.

D'Onofrio helps us to understand the inner world of the traumatized child, who can later become the self-injuring adolescent. He articulately puts the reader in touch with the pain and complexity of sufferers and the people who surround them. Readers are provided with an opportunity to endure a mere taste of the numbness or "deadness" that often drives self-injurers to inflict pain on themselves.

The later chapters discuss how to best help self-injuring individuals through a firm stance of empathy and clear boundaries combined with useful suggestions and steps to follow so as to best support the needs of the adolescent. D'Onofrio eloquently conveys his profound expertise and understanding to all -- clinicians, parents, as well as novice learners.

After I was in my accident, I looked everywhere to find information about whiplash injuries that wasn't a boring medical text. Advanced Whiplash Care was awesome! It walked me through the biomechanics of whiplash injuries, gave me information about what I can expect during my recovery, and even gave me a bunch of exercises and stretches that I could do to quicken my recovery. Best of all, it was written in an easy-to-understand conversational way. I highly recommend it!!!!

Dr. Irwin Siegel's All About Joints is a `maintenance guide' covering all the joints of the body, from wrists to knees and ankles. Any who want to understand normal functioning of the joints and treatments of common ailments and injuries will find Transplantation Sourcebook to be an excellent, "reader friendly" basic coverage which combines an understanding of anatomy with insights on the latest treatments. Diagnosis and prevention are also included in this fine and very highly recommended survey.

Absolutely the best book about treating marine injuries with up to date and professional information. This should be a must for anyone spending much time in the water--professionally or recreationally.

I am an RN who works in a long term facility. Recently, we have had several young patients who have suffered spinal cord injuries. As a nurse, my job is also to give unbiased information to patients. I purchased this book to become better informed of alternative treatments that I may discuss with these patients. I found it incredibly useful and informative-- especially when the medical community says "there is nothing else you can do". There are many other treatment alternatives. There is no cure, but if I can help steer someone towards relieving some painful symptoms, then I have done my job. Written well enough, that I, in fact, have given it to several patients and their family members to read as well.

Part I of this book includes planning for emergencies. Topics covered are safeguarding your home against accidents, what to tell medical personnel when an emergency situation occurrs and medical charts to fill out for family members.

Emergency procedures, i.e., CPR and the Heimlach Maneuver, are highlighted with red on the edge of the book for quick reference.

Other areas covered are recognizing medical problems, snake and insect bites and sports injuries.

This is a great book to keep with a First Aid Kit.

This book is a great review of cuff surgery... Has many of the Hawkins' principles imbedded in it and is a must have for any shoulder surgeon. Also a great source for residents and sports/shoulder fellows... is great complete source on arthroscopic cuff surgery and is very up to date... Would recommend it very highly.

It's a good book to review for the NATABOC or Texas Licensure....goes over all eval, parts of the body, etc

An excellent book for students of degree level. Not suitable for the novice. During my studies I have found this to be an outstanding reference book and an indispensible aid to writing assignments. The book is detailed scientifically but is easy to follow and has plenty of studies done to back up the information given. A top class book.

Drs. Rankin and Ingersoll have taken the art of management and applied it to health care. This book has a target audience of athletic trainers but it is approproiate for any health care facility. The selection and progression of chapters assists the student in learning the complex subject of management. They have done an excellent job of presenting various views in a non-partial manner. Well recommended!
