Frederick S. Isaak

A most read for Heath Care Professionals who treat work related injuries

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2006

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.
