Doctors are like farmers: they are never happy, except perhaps in retrospectJust as I have never met a drinker or a smoker who drinks or smokes as much as he used to, so I have never met a doctor who thinks the NHS is what it was a few years ago. This book about general practice by several authors, most of them eminent general practitioners, sets the record straight. * A. M. Daniels, Times Literary Supplement *
