Very resource dense book! I loved it because I got more out of it than I was expecting. The first handful of chapters actually go into coverage of how wound care is managed from a healthcare system standpoint which was helpful, covering things like reimbursement for these services. The meat and potatoes (actually talking about how to do wound care) is fantastic and well written!

Great book with great info

👍🏼😉

It does look like a very nice book. As I am looking at it, loving how it is sat up, I arrive at chapter 13, and the ink is all smeared and blurry. So that is why the rating of 3. is replacing it and I am sending the other one back, but this is an inconvenience for both of us! Now I have to wait even longer to use the recommendations in this book for my patients!
