Beth, PM or email Dallas307 to get her attention. I'm pretty sure that she can help you on that. Tell her that I said "howdy"!

Wink,Thanks! I know that she probably knows.I am always asking her questions,just trying to see if someone else knew before I bugged her again.I did write her though and told her you said HI! I am started to get scared about this.I have been waiting a while for this to happen and now that it is close I am a little jittery!

RE: AMA fourth edition for Texas
Bethsha211, you will not be able to find the ama 4th edition on line. your best bet will be the library. Another issue you may face is the interpretataion of it.
I wish you the best of luck in your search. 8-05, Micro laminectomy/disectomy. 10-05 lumbar fusion L5-S1. 2-07 exploritory surgery. 12-07 medical implant, Spinal Cord Stimulator. now receiving SSDI. Jesus died for our sins. Soilders died for our freedom. |

RE: AMA fourth edition for Texas
Thanks AQA, That is exactly what Dallas said.but somewhere in the past on this board I have seen where someone posted about AMA fifth edition I think it was. I remember it had said something about hand ratings.I know that muscle atrophy gives you a rating and I know about scar tissue.It could have been a sample showing how ratings work,not the actual book on it.I wish I would have saved it. Maybe I can do a search on it.

RE: AMA fourth edition for Texas
My question is how do you know you are getting a fair rating if you don't know how they rate certain things that are wrong? At this point, I really do not trust what they tell me.I am going to go surfing on the web again.I am bound to find something.

RE: AMA fourth edition for Texas
There are not a lot of changes between the 5th and the 4th. I won't post this again for fear of it getting taken down. So if you want it you better bookmark it.
