ESSENTIALS OF SKELETAL RADIOLOGY

Until 20 years ago, virtually all were self-published but in 1987, in spectacular style, all that changed.

But first an anecdote. I had occasion once to consult a radiologist about some films I had taken. I was unsure of the diagnosis, and sought his help. Later he began to berate my profession, declaring that we should be neither taking nor reading X-rays.

Coincidentally, on entering his rooms, I had noted that amongst ten or so texts placed handily next to his computer where he obviously spent much of the day reading X-rays, were two books which, unbeknown by him, were written by two chiropractors, Dr Yochum and Dr Rowe. Astonishingly he was quite unaware of the fact. I only wish I had had a tape recorder tucked away to record the conversation that ensued! More about this text has taken the medical and chiropractic (and publishing!) worlds by storm.

VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION

Severe dizziness, also known as Vertigo, is a fairly common and very disturbing condition that faces every chiropractor, probably on a weekly, if not daily basis. Professor Susan Herdman's authoritative book should be on every chiropractor's desk if they plan to treat dizziness. A wonderfully readable educational book. I wouldn't be without it.
