Issues of Injury

ISSUES OF INJURY, a newsletter printed by Medical Consultants Network, Inc., for its clients and physicians, explored the complicated intersection of medicine and money. Each edition contained articles on medical and legal topics of concern to insurance and legal professionals. Topics included alternative medicine, whiplash, fibromyalgia, head injury, multiple chemical sensitivity, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and plantar fasciitis. It is no longer in print.
