Dr. Fishbein says in the Preface:
The discovery of highly potent, new remedies like the sulfonamide drugs, the antibiotic drugs, the cortisones and the tranquilizers has changed considerably the approach of the medical profession to the diagnosis and treatment of disease . . . This book is a reflection of the new approach It is designed to have the patient understand that he should consult the doctor at the earliest sign of disease, and that he should be prepared to have his condi-tion approached from the point of view of his whole body, rather than from the point of view of a single germ that may have resulted in disability. The reader should be able to obtain from this book a better understanding of his own medical troubles and thereby be a better patient for his doctor.
