Reviews
'In the era of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and increasing patient access to medical literature it is essential that the clinician of the twenty-first century can weigh up the evidence supporting their own practice and justify their clinical decisions. A book of this kind is very welcome.'
Adam Feather, Senior Medical Lecturer, London
