Ordered :D

 

Let us know what you think of it.

Does anyone have a copy? Any good?

 

I have it and I think its a great book. I like the way it is spiral bound and lays flat, a simple thing but I hate bending the spine of a new book. The book is detailed and the videos are well presented. In my oppinion a very good book!

 

Hi DaVinci, :D

I eagerly await tomorrows post.

Promise to post as soon as Mr Posty brings my book. :empathy:

Regards,

Mandy.

 

Book arrived this afternoon. :D

Not nearly enough time to adequately feed back & do true justice to Ian & Stuart's work. However, my thoughts given the short time I have had the book:

Clearly written, comprehensive guide to utilising injections in the lower limb.

I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone currently using or intending to use injections in their clinical practice.

Certainly a welcome addition to my clinical reading & education.

My thanks to the authors.

I agree with Twirly and Paul - great publication, I like the way the text/diagrams are set out (I find smaller chunks of text so much less daunting than huge blocks. Easy to dip into when I have a moment free.

 

Hi guys

Many thanks for your kind words! Stuart and I did try hard to do something “practically” useful. As always, there can be bits added in and any feedback much appreciated… not that we are rushing to spend another 2 years doing the 2nd edition… :wacko:

Great book which I think will become a stock text for most podiatrists. My only concern is that it appears to advocate the mixing of steroids and local before injection which has been deemed inappropriate for UK pod's to do as it produces an unlicensed medicine which then places it outside of the scope of practice of podiatrists in the UK

 

Ditto the above comments. Congrats to Ian and Stuart for an essential textbook for all podiatric clinicians.

 

Hi Nigel

Fair point – but the book is aimed at a wider, multi-prof audience … and hopefully this non-mixing thing will get sorted one day… :confused:

The issue of mixing steroid and local raised its head whilst I was lead therapist for an MSK service and caused a few headaches. The physiotherapists took the line of using a 't' connector and injecting the two drugs separately. Personally I just dropped the use of the local. Didn't appear to have greater problems with post injection pain.

I think rather than resolve the issue, it would be appropriate to find out whether it is necessary to mix the two.

It might be nice to canvass this forum for emprical evidence.

Great book all the same though.

This book is not too shabby....have recommended it to more than a few post grads who have asked me to mentor post tib blocks.
