I had the distinct pleasure of reviewing this new text on practice management. It is a great resource for staff members in either a new practice or an established practice. In my more than 40 years of practicing medicine, I have not had a resource as useful as this one.

The Foot Book, Dr Seuss

admin — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 00:45:30 +0000

The Foot Book is a delightful tribute to the diverse and multifaceted world of feet. Not merely a realm of ankles, arches, and toes–as this self-proclaimed “Wacky Book of Opposites” attests–the podiatry province welcomes all kinds: “Slow feet/Quick feet/Well feet/Sick feet.” Dr. Seuss has put his best foot forward here, in a whimsical approach to showcasing opposites. Wet feet contrast dry feet, and low feet contrast high feet. Though hot feet and cold feet aren’t specifically referenced, we get the sense that those are okay too. As usual, the rhymes are quick and quirky, and Seuss’s illustrations will knock kids’ socks off.
