Yet too often it is a principle more honored in the breach than in the observance. It is bad enough when we do our patients harm by overzealous or misguided therapy; it may be even worse when we injure them with a false diagnostic label. Already far too many persons are limping their apprehensive ways through life, maimed by the...Bibliography1.
