Dr Richard Asher was one of the most outstanding medical thinkers of our times; a brilliant writer with a sparkling and devastating wit; and a distinguished clinician who was respected throughout the medical profession. The combination proved unique. He was a popular teacher, and inspired lecturer and a prolific writer. Many of his papers were published in leading medical journals. They displayed his remarkable verbal agility - and some were controversial. He was prepared to question standard medical thinking and his published work made his name a byword during his lifetime. It remains so now. Among the articles included are the triad 'Sense and Sensibility', 'Myxoedematous Madness', 'The Dangers of Going to Bed', and 'Munchausen's Syndrome'. These and many others of his finest papers have been brought together for the first time in this book.
