5Dedicated to…
People who did not stop with understanding medicine
but taught it to others
People who did not stop with ‘why’
but asked ‘why not’?
People who did not stop with invention
but proceeded with innovations
People who did not stop with treating
but searched for a cure
Patients who keep teaching us that
in life there are very few retakes
6AUTHOR'S NOTE
Problems in general practice are seen everyday by all doctors.
“One Page Solutions for General Practice” aims to give relevant information which can help treat patients in a better and easier way.
My previous book, Surgery – On Call (3rd edition 2007) was an attempt to help surgeons, general practitioners, residents, interns and students deal with and treat common surgical problems. It has fulfilled its aim.
I am sure that all doctors including general practitioners and specialists will find my new book, “One Page Solutions for General Practice” helpful and useful.
These two books are available in all medical bookshops. However if there is a problem to procure them, the following can be contacted.
