was well attended by some members of the British Parliament,
Two representatives from the Indian High Commission
and Dr. Atul Khare, the Director of the Nehru Centre
in London. |

Dr. Smith,
while releasing the book, said that this is not a simple
book but a "Holy Text" of medicine. He was
all praise for the book and quoted extensively from
the text to illustrate his points. He felt that the
author has pioneered this line of thinking that the
science of medicine is dangerously flawed and that the
modern medical hi-tech stuff is more a business than
a calling. He wished the book all success and said that
every patient, Doctor and Medical Student should read
this book. The future medical care delivery championed
in the book is slowly getting into main stream now added
Dr. Smith. |
