- Fauci and Straus are junk scientists
Fauci is a very poor scientist. He lets his own political beliefs bias his medical opinions.

That's what dictionaries are for, and that's also presumably what your English classes ... Read More

- For the lay person---NOT!!!
There is a reason why med students learn anatomy, histology,embryology, physiology,and biochemistry before picking up Harrison's, so I snicker when non-MD's think they can read and understand ( with the help of Taber's medical dictionary, which by the way is used by nurses, physicians in training use Dorland's) a medical textbook, especially one like Harrison's.( What is especially humorous is that one reviewer recalled that the textbook was titled "Tinsley & Harrison "(sic).... funny because Harrison's ...
