It takes a special person to do and compile this many nice things! Dr. Hatcher's sensitivity, humor, and candor allow him to understand human nature and connect with people in a way that is becoming a lost art. These thoughtful suggestions truly helped me consider the nice things that I do--and how I would like to do more of them!

Managing Contraceptive Pill Patients by: Richard P. Dickey publisher: Emis Inc released: 1994-01 ISBN: 0929240758 $14.95

I have used this book since 1992, both as a student and as a provider. My past editions have been well thumbed through and open imediately to the charts I used most. It is invaluable in the decision making process of changing pills or starting OCPs. The ability to safely manage side effects and fine tune women's health is found in this book. I highly recommend this to the student and experienced practitioner. Well worth the money, many times over. Not sure I would want it in a PDA format.

I daily use this handbook in my practice and have bought every edition since the 7th. Every question is answered. Allows sense to be made of oral contraceptive choice and adjustment without relying on big pharma's propaganda.

Consistent in it's format, easy to use,concise and up to date. Recommended to all medical personnel managing patients on oral contraceptives. I have purchased the last three editions over the last 7 years and have not been disappointed.

This book has clear guidelines for prescribing oral contraceptive agents. It provides a section on bothersome side effects, causal factors and options. The section on contraceptive activity is good as is the composition and identification section. Very helpful, easy to use and it takes the guesswork out of oral contraception.

An excellent reference guide and teaching text for every clinician who has a personal relationship with patients of reproductive age. The book fits in a lab coat pocket and has a unique design, which enables the user to find critical information quickly and easily. It is strongly recommended to physicians, residents, nurse practitioners and all other medical professionals in an OB/GYN clinic or teaching hospital. The 11th edition includes the new patch, ring and all new pills available 9/02.

I purchase the newest edition every year. It is concise, logically laid out, and meets my needs as a busy nurse working in college health. My only complaint is the small print, becoming more of an issue the older I get! Hee hee! But hey, that's what glasses are for!

Managing Contraception by: M.P.H Robert A. Hatcher M.D. publisher: Bridging the Gap Communications released: 2001 ISBN: 0967193907 $15.95

A pocket guide, "Managing Contraception" is packed with useful information for everyone in the medical field from students to clinicians. "Managing Contraception" includes algorithms, diagrams, color photos of the pills your patients are using, 1998 CDC Treatment Guidelines along with 30 mini-chapters of information about contraception. "Managing Contractption" includes information on the following topics:
Menstrual Cycle Physiology
Counseling Guidelines
Contraceptive Options
Sexually Transmissible Infections (CDC Guidlines)
WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria for Starting Contraceptive Methods
Spanish/English Translation of Key Family Planning Words
Important Phone Numbers and Websites

Bob Hatcher has done it again. This time he and his staff have compressed all you need to know about counselling for, and prescribing contraception in one pocket sized, easy to use book, While his larger and longer book is the standard in the field, it is too big to carry around with you as you are seeing patients. This small handbook gets around that problem and makes it easy for clinicians to look things up just when then need to know them. I recommend it heartily for those clinicians who provide reproductive health services.

This is an excellent and handy reference for novice and experienced clinicians who are working in women's health care. Not only does it provide quick references for aspects of family planning methods, it also has some very helpful guidance on women's health and primary care. I use it as an adjunct in case methodology for teaching graduate nurse-midwifery students.

Dr. Bob Hatcher has done it again; identified a need in the field of contraception and filled it. This pocket-sized guide will be useful for medical students, Ob/Gyn residents, primary care physicians, nurses, and other health professionals who'd like to have definitive contraceptive information they can just carry in their pocket.

It's also a useful guide for any smart consumer who'd like to make better decisions about her own contraceptive choices.

The guide is definitive, and well-worth the small cost of admission!
