health professions. It is a monumental achievement.
Andrew Rifkin, Publisher, Nutrition Health Review.
This critique of contemporary health
care by a respected clinician, researcher and author
deserves the careful attention of ALL health care
professionals, elected officials and the public. Its
publication 50 years after Dr. Roberts' famous text, "Difficult Diagnosis: A Guide to the Interpretation of
Obscure Illness" (W. B. Saunders Co.), represents a
literary landmark in medicine.
