ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I’d like to say thank you to all those who helped in the writing of this
book. That includes over 10,000 patients and their suffering families: too
many to mention by name, even if I had encyclopedic recall.
Thanks also to my great mentors Theron Randolph, MD, William Rea
MD, Richard Mackarness MD, Doris Rapp MD, Prof. Jonathan Brostoff
and those who went before but I never met: Herbert Rinkel, Michael
Zeller and Warren T. Vaughan Sr.
Thanks also to my editor Karen McChrystal, whose expertise and patience
has enabled this project to go forward smoothly.
