Medical Qigong Books
The qigong books here are more specifically concerned with the clinic setting: prescribing specific qigong exercises for specific ailments or directly treating with emitted qi. A more detailed knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine is useful in this context.
Medical Qigong Exercise Prescriptions -
Xlibris Corporation, 2006
ISBN: 1425707157
This is a thin book, only, 70 pages, but an excellent introduction to prescribing exercises based on diagnosis. It is written by a doctor of medical qigong therapy. She is a graduate of Jerry Alan Johnson’s medical qigong training and her work is a useful introduction to his body of work which may be a little overwhelming for many people.
This book does not cover emitted qi treatments.

ISBN: 1886969701

ISBN-
ISBN-
This is the original publication which was 1086 pages in hard back. It covers all aspects of medical qigong exercise prescriptions and emitted qi treatment in the clinic. This is a very comprehensive work which goes into Traditional Chinese Medicine in great detail. This would be quite hard going for anyone who is not already familiar with TCM and qigong. It is an academic and is the course book for several medical qigong training courses.
You may be able to pick this edition up but it has now been republished as a five
volume work of which the fifth volume is a new addition on the treatment of cancer.
