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.
