| Editorial Review | ...there is almost no superfluous information and all the text is directed to helping the healthcare professional deal with a patient in front of them. It is very much direct, straight to the point and most importantly, practical... It's an excellent and practical book, particularly for primary health care teams as well as a GP registrar - Glycosmedia |
