Review quotes

“This book is a valuable resource for busy clinicians and clinicians-in-training to assess the evidence for common medical practices. It is helpful to learn from our own practice and for medical educators to help teach the “why” of what we do in medicine.” ©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Paul D O'Rourke, MD, MPH (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine)
