This, my second book, required many hours of research and a lot of advice from my medical friends and colleagues. Robert Schwartz and Jacob Harris gave up hours of their free time to make sure that I got pediatrics and psychiatry (respectively) down correctly. I also thank my friends Janusz Rudnicki and Gino Bottino for their input in ob/gyn and oncology. I thank Michael Rosenberg, president of the New York State Medical Society, for his thoughtful words in the foreword. My wife, Caryn, has been at my side during all of the time that was committed to produce this work. And lastly, many thanks to my “writing coach” Derek Rydal, who was there any time that I got stuck or had a question.
