Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The book is as close to an autobiography as Dr Taylor may get, full of personal advice and clinical stories couched in terms that seek to instruct and teach what he has learned in a lifetime of reading, practicing medicine, and writing. The writing ... is concise and includes the ideas and research and anecdotes that have guided him. ... The book gives the reader insight into the last half century of practice and shares lessons learned from a respected leader in academic medicine." (John Frey, Family Medicine, Vol. 44 (4), April, 2012)
