“A dear relative lent this book to an elderly neighbor, who not only praised it, saying that he wished he had such a stat text many years ago while he was a student at the University of Pittsburgh, but subsequently died with the book still open next to his bed. Upon being informed of this, the first author’s wife commented “I wonder which chapter killed him.” In all good conscience, therefore, we cannot recommend this book for casual bedside reading if you are more than 85 years old. Otherwise, read it anywhere or anytime.”
