Can someone advise on which one if choosing for this as a bigger reference book for in office. I will still get the smaller ones mentioned. I know they are similar, but which is preferred by you if you choose to respond. 1. FERRIS CLINICAL ADVISER 2. CURRENT MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT Thank you Thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it.

Thank you for your feedback. I do appreciate it. Good to have! Will look into it for sure.

Wow! This looks like the type of book I am looking for. I like the organization. It kind of is similar to "Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment book" Have you personally used it or do you currently use it now? Good day! Oh do you think its to big in size? Does it help you alot in day to day clinic ?

I will check this out. I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

Can anyone recommend a good reference book to have in clinic for family medicine/primary care? I really need something good. Something that can give you good quick clinical guidance when needed? I do have Epocrates, but just like to have my hands physically on things sometimes Thank you

Medicare Wellness exams, is a thing now. Can anybody provide any helpful templates/links or give me any pointers on how to go about? Thank you

Question I have a question for TEXAS nurses. When working under a private doctor, even with your DEA what are some medications you will Not give? Also, what are some clinical things to clarify with a private doctor to avoid confusion in the future? Thank you

I have a question for Texas nurses, ma’s, providers; because it’s become a concern. 1. Can medical assistants “draw up” vaccines in Texas ie: COVID 19 vaccines???? According to my research they are trained and checked off drawing and administration. I just want to clarify due to some stating “I can administer but I can’t draw”. FYI; in this setting there is an LVN RN and NP present as well. I don’t see a clear answer to this on TEXAS board of nursing and just want to see if someone could show me where or assist. Thank you

Sooo question, Your actively treating PCOS patients in your family medicine clinic and endocrine disorders? I don’t know, I think your being somewhat unrealistic in your comments. I am only asking for guidance and direction when it does come to referring-not everyone practice the same. Yes I would check all those other items; but I will also let them check in with a GYN/Endocrine according to abnormalities in labs/imaging/test to explore all options best for them. There is a reason they are specialist as well.

There are different reasons why we can and should send to specialist after we have done what we are comfortable doing. It is at our own digression depending “on the scenario”. the scenario was stated above. Thing such as Irregular menses, heavy menses, amenorrhea, etc

Yes I do know why I did. Is there a problem with just wanting more clarity? I am asking a question for people who want to help. thank you Thanks for the information. Truly appreciated. Just wanted some clarity for direction when it comes to this kind of patient.

Yes! Always! Just want to see if someone can help me differentiate a little better. I know they can refuse; but for my own knowing of direction to take it helps to have a little mental picture of which direction for those particular labs. Sometimes the labs are kinda mixed a little elevation of each.

Question to my Nurse Practitioners in family medicine: I often have this question. How do I know when to send patient to endocrinologist vs gynecologist? I am always confused. I check thing such as: LH and FSH PROLACTIN DHEA TESTOSTERONE LEVELS when checking these ; and they are elevated; where do I send the patient. Simple terms please. example: elevated DHEA AND IRREGULAR MENSES thank you

Good idea. Thanks for responding-I will def consider just doing urinalysis. What about Leukocyte of 75 and no symptoms. Or protein of 2+ ; when are you concerned about leukocytes and proteins?

Understood! So basically I should tell her to come back when her menses has completely cleared? I guess for me I panic sometimes when I see that and want to be more calm about it.
