There are few clinicians in the ancient tradition of Jonathan Hutchinson and Parkes Weber, men who never allowed themselves to be forced into some narrow corner of the broad thoroughfares of medicine. They cover the whole of clinical disease as they encounter it in the generality of medical practice. Among such physicians, we call to mind Isadore Snapper, William Dock, Richard Asher, and Erik Ask-Upmark.
