Roberts'' musings as editor-in-chief of the Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, and will interest physicians, clinicians, fellows, nurses, and students from all fields of medicine. Dr. Roberts believes the most important part of patient health is prevention, and the key to prevention is physician awareness of all the things that can impact a patient''s health, from clinical issues to the arcane and mundane aspects of daily life. Accordingly, readers can expect to learn about subjects ranging not only from FDA approvals and trial reports, but to internet prescriptions, gun control, the Viagra culture, fast food, drug use, and whether it''s better, health-wise, to be married or have a dog.
