From the foreword by Julian Tudor Hart
"Trish Greenhalgh, in her frequent columns in the BritishMedical Journal...more than any other medical journalist spoketo her fellow GPs in the language of experience, but never withoutlinking this to our expanding knowledge from the whole of humanscience.
When I compare the outlines of primary care so lucidlypresented in this wonderful book, obviously derived from richexperience of real teaching and learning, with the grand guignoltheatre of London medical schools when I was a student 1947-52, theadvance is stunning."
