Additional text
From the reviews of the second edition:
"Gynecology for the Primary Care Physician addresses the need about as well as any textbook can. Designed for physicians, it will also be of interest to all midlevel clinicians-students and residents who provide gynecological care. Thorough, readable, well organized, and accessible, the text is beautifully designed and overall a pleasure to read. ... I will refer to it frequently, urge medical students to read ... encourage residents to consider adding it to their libraries, and strongly recommend it to colleagues." (Cathleen E. Morrow, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 300 (19), November, 2008)
