"I like the layout of the text as it addresses the most common diseases/conditions linked to the various systems of the body. The material is clear and succinct, which makes it easier for the new learner to understand and apply the knowledge. What is also helpful, is that many of the main questions listed, are the same or similar to the questions that we use in the U. of A. health history questionnaire."Joan Leakey, Clinical Assistant Professor, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
