Reviews
This would be a brilliant read for medical students and primary care physicians. The simplified, common-sense approach, I found, made it compulsive reading, in a subject where that is the exception... It is [an] excellent value indeed.

Donovan's Literary Services This book is practical and useful. Easy to read and understand without being patronising. Nursing Times
