Abstract
By far the most frequently used drug in general practice was the doctor himself. No pharmacology of this important drug exists. No guidance is contained in any textbook as to the dosage the doctor should prescribe himself. The usual answer is that experience and common sense will help the doctor to acquire the necessary skill.—Michael Balint1This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
