From reviews:
"... the writing is upbeat and easy to read.... a reliable, accessible, and up-to-date guide. How David Brill found time to write this as an FY1 doctor with three small children, beats me. But lots of students will be very glad he did, and I will be recommending it wholeheartedly to any I know". British Journal of General Practice, May 2020
