ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 5: Mental Health and Blood Cases

Two chapters that reward careful reading of a single word. In mental health, the difference between use, abuse and dependence is documented, not judged. In the blood chapter, almost every anaemia points at a cause that has to be coded with it, and often before it. This book covers substance use, mood and psychotic disorders, dementia and its underlying causes, then the anaemias, low platelets and bleeding disorders.

The ten chapters:

1. Use, abuse, dependence

2. The hierarchy and remission

3. Mood and anxiety

4. Dementia

5. Tobacco

6. Always ask why

7. Acute against chronic loss

8. Anaemia in another disease

9. Platelets and bleeding

10. Inherited conditions

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour, with a two-page Coding Lab that works a full record step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.
