The DME guide you have been waiting for! If you are interested in observing DMEs, this book is an indispensable guide. It covers all aspects of the legal nurse consultant role at a defense medical exam (DME.) The book also guides the reader through every aspect from greeting the client at the doctor's office, to writing the reports. The authors Silvia Aninye and Pat Iyer thoughtfully provide tips to the reader on dealing with difficult and unethical situations that may occur during the exam.  

This book gives very detailed information about the DME process and how to conduct oneself as an observer.  The chapters are broken down into easily understandable sections about each step in the process.  The authors even include specific replies to common objections the physician performing the exam may make.  As a bonus, there are chapters addressing the business side of LNC work including marketing, client retention, and the financial side.  This book is a must-read for LNCs new to DME work but also has useful tips for the more experienced LNCs.

They have collaborated, compiled, and written a very thorough and comprehensive reference guide for anyone who already attends DMEs or would like to begin attending and subcontracting DMEs to build their business.
