Sarah never expected that when she was called to preach that it would totally wreck her social life. In her first pastorate, she struggled with loneliness but would not give up with what she believed is her life’s work. She resigned to live alone. One tragic day, she found the body of the closest friend she had. Near the deceased was a note beginning, “Dear Pastor Sarah.” It was clearly written near the time of death. The paper had several scriptures listed that she should think about. It was definitely written to her; so she took it, not knowing it contained a code to the identity of the killer. When she took the note, she didn’t know it would make a young detective angry. But as he works the case, he realizes that to solve this crime, he must have Sarah’s expertise.

Cracking the Code covers the basics of the contents of patients’ medical notes. Common medical terminology used in reviewing physiological systems is briefly explained. Commonly encountered investigative procedures are defined and their use explained. Medical laboratory tests are similarly explored. Much of this book concentrates on the secondary care environment because this remains the main setting in which healthcare professionals have free and open access to patient medical notes. However, the expanding roles of healthcare professionals in the primary care sector mean that all practitioners need to be able to ‘unlock the code’ of medical terminology and abbreviations. It is hoped that this book will therefore be of use not only to the undergraduate pharmacy students for whom it was originally developed, but also to other healthcare professionals who routinely access patient medical notes. This new edition has been revised and updated to incorporate measurements of body weight and surface area, capillary blood gases, sepsis screening, common drug serum levels, and changes to the reporting of cardiac troponins. Contents include: Section 1: Medical terminology Section 2: Patient medical notes Section 3: Investigative procedures Section 4: Laboratory reports Section 5: Medical abbreviations

It's not a spy thriller, but it's a great way to reinforce note reading! 'Solving the code' by reading the notes will result in great geometric designs. This project is suitable for every note reader, including beginning students, advanced readers, parents, teachers, even music store personnel.

Sharon Kaplan has provided another book of codes to decipher. A bit more challenging than Book 1 (but still within easy reading capabilities), the resulting geometric patterns in Book 2 are fancier and more intricate. A bonus feature of Book 2 is the inclusion of some blank grids for creative opportunities.
