A Great and Practical Guide
Michael Vlanin provides better approaches in addressing musculoskeletal care. We often see new advances in the field, but Vlanin points out that it's not always in the patient's view. It's sometimes just a general view. The author points out in looking at the patient's sleep patterns, if they're depressed, etc. etc. The graphics were helpful in picturing what doctors should look for in their patients. I know what to say so my doctor can understand me better. It's a great guide and I hope this book furthers conversations about looking at medical advances through the patient's viewpoint.
