It is the sort of book that holds your attention from cover to cover.
John Fry, 1922 --1994, made unparalleled contributions to the reformation of British general practice in the second half of the 20th Century. In the 1950s and 1960s he dominated the movement for evidence-based primary care and the operational intelligence of better practice management. He became the most prolific publisher of facts and figures in the history of general practice, the first systematic surveyor of the everyday diseases of a single practice, monitoring their natural histories and the effectiveness of treatments.
This book portrays the journey that the young immigrant Polish boy, John Fry, took to become the best known GP in the world.
