About the Author:
Following fifty years in Medicine, the variety of Dr. Pratt?s experiences has provided him the background to write this book. Dr. Pratt began his career as a Family Physician. After a few years, he entered a specialty training program, and he became interested in teaching. He taught surgery at Temple University, in Philadelphia; at Western Reserve University, in Cleveland; at Washington University, in St. Louis; and as Jefferson Medical College, in Philadelphia. He finished his surgical career participating in the development of a new medical school in New Jersey. Following his retirement from his surgical career, he accepted administrative appointments as a hospital?s Vice President for Medical Affairs and as the Medical Director of an HMO. In addition, in 1969, he received a national award for his research.
